ACS Holiday for Hope Gala, Presented by Vern Eide Motorcars

THANK YOU

We are overjoyed to announce that the 2024 Holiday for Hope Gala, presented by Vern Eide Motorcars, was a HUGE success! Thanks to your incredible support, we crushed our fundraising goal and raised over $210,000 – with nearly $50,000 going directly to lodging and transportation grants in South Dakota! Your generosity is truly making a life-changing impact, and we can’t thank you enough.

We hope to see you again next year. More details will be coming soon.

Our Mission

Mission Funding: Patient Support & Transportation

The American Cancer Society provides information and resources to help patients and their loved ones manage through cancer treatment and recovery, and to help with the emotional support they need. They also work to remove barriers that stand between the patient and lifesaving treatment. For many patients with cancer, transportation challenges can create barriers to receive the treatment they need. Many people need daily or weekly treatment, often for several months. Family and friends may help, but they may not always have the time or resources to provide every ride. The American Cancer Society is proud to provide transportation assistance to those in need, by giving free rides to cancer-related medical appointments.

In 2022 alone, the American Cancer Society provided more than 323,000 rides to more than 35,000 patients in need through transportation programs.
