On September 20, 2023, players and members of the coaching staff from the Temple University Men's Basketball team and the Cathy Miller Cancer Fund visited the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge in Cheltenham. The team served dinner, spent time getting to know the patients and caregivers, taught everyone the Temple Fight Song and gifted some lucky door prize winners with Temple gear! Good luck this season! Go Owls! Fight, fight, fight for the Cherry and the White! See the pictures here!

On Thursday August 26, 2021, CMCF will dedicate a garden bench at the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge in memory of Matthew Lomazoff. As you know Matt was the son of Frank’s long-time friend Howard & his wife Lynn. Sadly, Matt lost his battle with brain cancer in July of 2020. As an organization (and on a personal level), we would like to honor Matt with a special & permanent donation to the Lodge. The bench symbolizes Matt’s commitment to helping others & encouraging those in need. It will stand as a lasting representation of Matt’s volunteerism, as well as all the Cathy Miller Cancer Fund’s volunteers.

Like us, she’s steadfastly resolute to keep Frank’ Miller's meaningful dream alive. Through the challenges that lie ahead, we know we can depend on Graceann.

Our latest Partnership is with a group of Nurses from the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. Their group assisted CMCF in serving meals at the Hope Lodge this past Spring. Inspired by the gratitude and need of the residents at the Lodge, the nurses, led by Ashley Stankiewicz, held a tee-shirt sale at Penn. $500 profit was made and then matched by Penn Cares. On July 15th 2019, Ashley and Nurse Manager Paige Sinclair presented CMCF with a $1000 check at the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge. This is an outstanding beginning for our latest innovative Partner. Ashley and Paige hope to double their sales next year. The CMCF Team intends to support and promote their endeavors. Awesome work and welcome aboard Penn Nurses!
