Since its inception in 1980, more than $16 million have been contributed to organizations whose purpose is directly related to the treatment, patient assistance, and eradication of cancer. Much of the costs to produce the auction are underwritten by corporate sponsors. Individuals, wine producers and other businesses donate auction items, with the single objective of generating as much money as possible for cancer related programs. l’Eté du Vin is proud to provide financial support to those organizations.

Hope Lodge- Getting the right care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city. The American Cancer Society makes this difficult situation easier with free, temporary housing accommodations for cancer patients and their families while undergoing treatment. Hope Lodge provides guests with private rooms, kitchen facilities, and transportation to treatments. The lodge has room for a family member to stay with the patient. Perhaps the most important thing that a Hope Lodge provides is a supportive and home-like environment which is conducive to the unique needs of its guests.To watch our video about Hope Lodge, please click here. |
