Honolulu Hope Gala

Mahalo for an incredible 2025 Hope Gala!

Together, we raised $1.9 million to fund the American Cancer Society Clarence T.C. Ching Hope Lodge® in Honolulu.

Since its inception in 2016, the Clarence T.C. Ching Hope Lodge has served 4,773 people, providing a total of 52,199 free nights of lodging, saving patients and their caregivers over $7.9M in hotel costs. Thank you for helping provide critical support to our cancer patients and their families who must travel to Oʻahu for treatment.

We are excited to announce Hawaii Hope Gala will be returning on October 17, 2026!

Please reach out to Leila Frishak ([email protected]) for sponsorship and event details.

 

Until then, relive the event through our photo gallery here or take a peak at our recap video below!

Our Mission

Funding the Hope Lodge

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.
