Exclusively for members of the Hope for the Future Society.

The Hope for the Future Society brings together a special community of supporters who believe deeply in the work Hope Connections provides for people facing cancer.

Through their commitment, members help ensure that support groups, educational workshops, and mind-body programs remain available completely free of charge to anyone who needs them, while also allowing Hope to expand and reach more individuals and families in the years ahead.

Throughout the year, members are invited to special gatherings that celebrate the impact of their support and bring this community together.

The upcoming event highlighted here is one example of the experiences members enjoy as part of the Society.

Membership begins with a gift of $500 and helps sustain the future of Hope’s programs.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month.

We know cancer touches lives in ways we don’t always see.

Prevention starts with understanding risk and knowing there are steps that can support overall health.

While not all cancers are preventable, research shows that some risk factors can be influenced over time.

Informed decisions today can support healthier tomorrows.
Your health is worth caring for. 💚

Earlier this week felt like a full circle moment. Our President and CEO, Mary K McCusker, gathered with board chairs emeritus Gary Altman (Altman & Associates) and Joe Clarke (EagleBank), the very place where, almost eight years ago, they first met for breakfast and began imagining a stronger future for Hope Connections and the families we serve.

That early conversation, which also included former Development Director Amy Weinberg, sparked the bold idea of one day purchasing a permanent home to ensure lasting stability for our participants. While Amy was not able to join us this week, her vision and leadership were very much part of the moment.

Grateful for the steady commitment that continues to move our mission forward.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent program, Gynecological Cancers: Prevention, Treatment & Survivorship.

We were grateful to share this important conversation with participants from across the community and beyond, and to learn from P. Reed McDonagh, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. His presentation offered clear, compassionate, and evidence-based insights on a topic that impacts so many.

Participants learned about the different types of gynecologic cancers, the importance of prevention and early detection (including the role of HPV vaccination), health disparities that affect outcomes and access to care, lifestyle and risk-reduction strategies, advances in radiation treatment such as proton therapy, and so much more.

We remain committed to offering free educational programs that provide reliable information and meaningful support to individuals impacted by cancer, caregivers, and members of the broader community.
