Mark your calendars, NEPA! 🎉

The Board of Ambassadors is thrilled to announce Honorable Thomas Munley as the 2026 Tribute to Courage Honoree at our upcoming Spirit of Hope Celebration, set for Friday, November 6, 2026, at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

Judge Munley spent 30+ years as a practicing attorney before taking the bench in Lackawanna County. He served our country in Vietnam. He's a cancer survivor. And we couldn't be prouder to recognize him.

Join us for a night of celebration to raise money for the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute's Community-Based Cancer Screening Navigation Program, helping individuals across Northeast Pennsylvania access direct cancer-related healthcare services.

The numbers are in. 💙

The 2025 Spirit of Hope Celebration raised $37,072 for the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute's Community-Based Cancer Screening Navigation Program, helping low-income and uninsured individuals across the region access free screenings for colorectal, breast, cervical, and lung cancer.

More than 300 people showed up. Our Ambassadors showed out. And every dollar raised stays right here in NEPA.

Thank you to our Board of Ambassadors, our generous sponsors, everyone who attended, and our 2025 Tribute to Courage Honoree, John “Slick” Baum. None of this happens without you.

The 2026 Spirit of Hope Celebration is already on the calendar: Friday, November 6 at Mohegan Pennsylvania.
