The Phantom Ball will benefit Hope Lodge, New York City. Serving as a home away from home for cancer patients coming to New York City for treatment, Hope Lodge provides free, temporary housing and other vital non-medical services in a supportive and nurturing environment. Currently there is no dedicated facility like this in our area and Hope Lodge is the American Cancer Society's response to fill this critical void in our healthcare system. Located on 32nd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, it will feature 60 private patient rooms providing 21,900 nights of annual lodging. The Ball's proceeds will help support the building of this very special place.

Please send your response to Mrs. Cathy Reddington, 120 Weyford Terrace, Garden City, NY 11530 and include your name, address and phone number. Checks may be made payable to the Garden City Unit, American Cancer Society. Thank you for helping make Hope Lodge, New York City a reality.
