The Knoxville Hope Gala is an extraordinary annual black-tie event in Knoxville, chaired by our amazing local philanthropists. Presented by the American Cancer Society, this gala is all about coming together to raise funds and awareness for cancer in our very own East Tennessee community. For over 22 years, this remarkable event has been a beacon of hope, uniting people from all walks of life to support the Knoxville-area chapter and make a lasting impact.
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge® communities offer a home away from home for people facing cancer and their caregivers when cancer treatment is far away. Our 30+ Hope Lodge communities provide a free place to stay during treatment so people with cancer can focus on getting better. These communities provide comfortable guest suites with private baths, as well as inviting spaces with all the comforts of home, including a communal kitchen, dining area, laundry rooms, and places to gather or find a quiet respite – all at no cost to guests.
Hope Lodge guests don’t just find a place to stay – they find a community of support and an emotional connection with others facing the same journey.
