When is the Beacon of Hope illuminated and why?
The Beacon of Hope is illuminated to raise awareness for cancer-related causes, honoring patients, caregivers, and ongoing research efforts. Lighting the Beacon of Hope is reserved exclusively for initiatives directly tied to cancer awareness, advocacy, and support.
We appreciate the many important causes that impact public health and well-being; however, to maintain our mission focus, we are unable to accommodate lighting requests for non-cancer-related events.
For inquiries about cancer awareness lighting requests, please contact the public affairs team.
