Honolulu Hope Gala

June 6, 2026
The Royal Hawaiian Resort Waikīkī

Please join co-chairs Bob & Lori Harrison as we celebrate a “Decade of Hope”, marking the 10th anniversary of Hope Lodge Hawaiʻi, at the American Cancer Society’s 2026 Hope Gala Hawaiʻi presented by First Hawaiian Bank.

Since opening its doors in 2016, the Clarence T. C. Ching Hope Lodge has been a safe haven for more than 5,190 patients and caregivers, offering 54,400 free nights of comfort, care, and relief. That support has eliminated nearly $10 million in lodging costs for families already facing so much. We invite you to be a champion for this life-changing mission to bring hope, healing, and a home to those touched by cancer across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.

100% of proceeds stay in Hawai‘i to support Hope Lodge, ensuring a home away from home for cancer patients across the Pacific.

Please reach out to Leila Frishak (Leila.Frishak@cancer.org) for sponsorship and event details.

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.
