The Jockeys & Juleps Kentucky Derby-themed Gala, hosted by the Tampa Bay GenNow Network, proudly benefits the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge, providing a comfortable, no-cost haven for those undergoing treatment. Gala guests will be immersed in the excitement of the celebrated Kentucky Derby Race as we raise a toast to the achievements of the Tampa Hope Lodge, the resilience of our survivors, thrivers, and caregivers, our Jockey Honorees and Fundraisers, and the passion that unites us in our shared mission. Our event offers unique sponsorship opportunities and is poised to be the highlight of the Tampa Bay’s event season.

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.
