Who We Are
Founded in 2004, the Lexington Cancer Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization with a philanthropic mission to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. Our board is comprised of fifty committed, passionate women.
Where We Are
Our offices are located in The Lexington Cancer Foundation, Inc. Volunteer Center at the Lexington Hope Lodge. The Hope Lodge is a no cost housing facility for cancer patients receiving treatment in the area. The facility can house up to 32 families referred to the Hope Lodge through area physicians based on assessed need. The Hope Lodge is owned and managed by the American Cancer Society. LCF contributed a large portion of the capital campaign to the facility, over $1,000,000, as well as an additional $1,000,000 in grants and pledges towards the facility since 2004. In exchange for the funds raised, LCF receives office space in the Volunteer Center at no cost. To date the facility has served over 15,000 patients providing over 200,000 nights of free lodging.
