“The need is vast. The need is real.”
— Maureen Lesak, Board Member

We know we can meet this need because we’re not working alone.

You, and hundreds of your friends, neighbors, and colleagues, came together for a night of magic.

Together, you raised over $300,000. But it doesn’t stop there.

55 of you joined our monthly giving community, The Line, showing cancer patients that a good meal, kindness, and hope are constant. In a world filled with uncertainty, knowing we can count on you means everything.

There’s magic in nourishment. Let David, in the video below tell you why.

Your generosity will not only change the course of someone’s day but also their treatment outcomes. The ripple effect is exponential.

The Magic Parlor, an experience by INFINITI, was a dazzling celebration of hospitality and generosity —reserved exclusively for members of The Line.

As a member of The Line, you’re monthly subscription ensures kindness and care are always on the table, no matter how busy life gets. And the perks? They’re as life-changing for you as they are for those you help. Exclusive year-round benefits, like unforgettable events and meaningful connections, are just the beginning. It’s not too late to join us.

The Great Hall, sponsored by S. Pellegrino and ITW Food Equipment Group, showed us the magic of a good meal.
