The Promise The American Cancer Society s eighth annual Key Gala to benefit the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston will be held on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at the Park Plaza Castle. Join us as we celebrate the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston and honor James Hoyes, President of EMD Serono, Inc. James Hoyes is dedicated to finding innovative first-in-class therapies to fight cancer. He is president of leading biopharmaceutical company EMD Serono, which received CEO Cancer Gold Standard accreditation in 2011, recognizing the organization's commitment to reducing the risk of cancer for their employees and their families by promoting healthy lifestyle choices and encouraging early detection. As someone who has lost a loved one to cancer, Mr. Hoyes is strongly committed to patient groups like the American Cancer Society and supports their efforts for people living with this devastating disease. Jim is a member of the American Cancer Society s CEOs Against Cancer and was named one of the 100 Most Inspiring People in the Pharmaceutical Industry by PharmaVOICE in 2010. Mr. Hoyes is dedicated to supporting initiatives that can help make a difference in cancer prevention, treatment and finding a cure, and EMD Serono has a rich history as a key corporate partner to the American Cancer Society, including support of the Daffodil Days campaign and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. EMD Serono s sponsorship of the Society s Cancer Action Network beginning in 2008 has raised the voice of millions affected by cancer by ensuring national lawmakers are taking real steps toward decreasing the number of people suffering and dying from the disease. Demonstrating the company s commitment to finding novel therapies to beat cancer, EMD Serono has been a proud sponsor of the Research Challenge for the past four years, and also has sponsored Camp HOPE which enables children battling cancer to get the chance to attend summer camp. EMD Serono was honored with the American Cancer Society s Corporate Partner Award in 2009. Since opening in November of 2008, the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston, a program of your American Cancer Society, has provided a safe, supportive, and self-sufficient home away from home for guests in active outpatient cancer treatment. It has helped more than 1,500 guests from more than 48 states and 11 international countries by providing more than 48.000 nights of free lodging saving them over $8.9 million or over $5,600 per guest. In addition, the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston provides more than a temporary home away from home; it provides a support network for patients and caregivers that is unparalleled. Jacqueline, a former guest of the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston, put it best when she said, The Hope Lodge bond is no different from the experience students have living in communal housing working toward the same goals. Though we may have different diagnoses
and protocols we are unified by our determination to be honor students in this life experience curriculum and have our graduation day. We share our common diagnosis, treatments, fears, hopes, and game plans. Since its inception in 2005, the Key Gala has raised more than $3.15 million for the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center in Boston. In this very challenging economy, your support is more important than ever. Each day we are meeting patients at the Lodge who are so moved and filled with gratitude for the chance to receive the treatment they may have otherwise had to forego. With your help we can continue to provide this much needed service to cancer patients and their families from across the United States and the globe undergoing treatment in Boston area hospitals.
