Thursday, December 5, 2024 marked the 34th 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 the McFadden who spoke at Tree of Hope this year, in the video below. Together, they share their message of hope.
