KEEPER OF THE HOPE AWARD

Each year the Board of Directors of IMPACT Melanoma presents the Keeper of the Hope Award to a member of our IMPACT community whose generosity, vision and commitment to the organization over time is unwavering. This award is named after Suzanne Donahue, a young woman who lost her battle with melanoma at age 37. Suzanne was gracious, giving and reminded us all about the power of giving-back no matter what your circumstance.

We are thrilled to announce that the Keeper of the Hope Award honoree is Joseph McCluskey, Jr., Vice President, C.O.O. at Edward G. Sawyer Co., Inc. Joe will be presented with this award at our annual Shades of Hope Gala on Friday, September 23, 2022 at the Larz Anderson Museum, Brookline, Massachusetts.
