GenNow Network is a leadership group of New York City’s best and brightest emerging leaders dedicated to leading the world in the fight against cancer. After Dark is the ACS GenNow NYC Chapter’s Fall signature event, where young professionals come together to Party with a Purpose to raise funds for the annual operating cost of Hope Lodge NYC. The unique celebration invites the community to celebrate, remember, and fight back in an unforgettable way.
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.
