A Night of Hope For MBC

A Night of Hope for MBC is an annual community event to raise money to support research for metastatic breast cancer (stage 4) through the Cancer Couch Foundation. Unfortunately, little money that is raised for research is earmarked to research a cure for metastatic breast cancer.

Additionally, the event organizers have again selected Ann’s Place, as the “Angel Fund” for the event. 10% of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to Ann’s Place.

In 2020, Chandelle Pluff Albert, one of the event organizers in 2019, passed away from stage 4 breast cancer, only two years after her stage 4 diagnosis. The Night of Hope this year will honor both Chandelle and the founder of Cancer Couch, Rebecca Timlin-Scalera, PHD who passed away from MBC in December of 2019.

In 2019, A Night of Hope for MBC raised $85,000 that went directly to metastatic breast cancer research at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through The Cancer Couch Foundation, a local Connecticut, privately funded, non-profit organization.

Birdies for Charity Support Ann's Place

Make a Gift For Someone Facing Cancer

Get a 15% match on your donation through
Birdies for Charity!

Floods, Pandemic, Late Stage Cancers

It has been a year of devastating changes, and we are only halfway through. We have been providing intensive counseling and support for more people with late-stage cancers than ever before due to delays in diagnosis during the pandemic. And then, this spring, we had to close most of our building and move almost all services online due to a massive flood caused by a burst pipe.

We've Got This!

With the help of supporters like you, we can look beyond these obstacles, take a deep breath, and begin to imagine how we can make tomorrow better.

Rebuilding With Purpose

We have so many innovative ideas for our future! With input from clients, volunteers and staff, the following are our top priorities for 2022:

  • Fully sponsor services for 800 clients including all of the counseling, wellness programs and support groups they need - so services remain free of charge.

  • Rebuild our destroyed Children's Room with updated play therapy supplies.

  • Create a new "Salon" so woman can try on wigs and scarves and feel beautiful again.

  • Build a space to easily record digital classes that can also be in-person.

Limited Time to Boost the Power of Your Annual Donation

Through Birdies for Charity, all credit card fees are paid and an additional 15% is added onto to your donation. All funds must be raised by Sunday, June 26
