Thursday, December 4, 2025 marked the
35th Annual Tree of Hope Lighting Ceremony
This cherished Duke Cancer Institute event honors and remembers loved ones, patients, staff, family, and friends whose lives have been touched by cancer. The lights on the tree glow brightly to illuminate HOPE, even in the face of adversity.
This connection is a value that led to the establishment of Duke Cancer Patient Support Program (DCPSP) in 1987. DCPSP provides supportive care, from diagnosis, through treatment, and continuation of care into survivorship for patients and their loved ones—all at no cost thanks to the generosity of donors.
Take a moment to hear from Chaundrea Mason and her children, Devin and Kali, who spoke at Tree of Hope this year. Together, they share their message of hope.
You can still make a donation in honor or memory of those you cherish.
Your tax-deductible gift benefits the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program, allowing us continue our mission of providing cancer support services, at no cost, to patients and their loved ones.
