Instructions on how to book your room at these discounted rates will be provided on your email confirmation. The Metro can take you from the airport to within walking distance of the hotel.

Travel Grants:

First-time registrants for HOPE Summit are encouraged to apply for a travel grant. Travel grants are available based on need and availability. There are a very LIMITED number of travel grants available. If you are in need of partial or full travel assistance to attend the 2014 HOPE Summit, we encourage you to fill out the travel grant application AFTER you’ve registered. Travel grants are for travel transportation to Washington, DC and 2-night hotel accommodations for May 2-4, 2014. The application for a travel grant can be found here.

First consideration of travel grants will be given to first-time participants; however, we encourage all survivors to apply for a travel grant.

For those making/paying for their own travel arrangements, we will have a discounted block of rooms at the Keybridge Marriott that we can reserve for you. Please let us know ASAP if you need us to book your room.

Survivors’ Challenge:

You can join the Survivors' Challenge by creating a fundraising page and collecting donations to support LUNGevity. You can even send emails out directly from your page, asking your friends and family to help you with the Challenge. And we'll provide fundraising tips to help you along. Raise $1,000 or more, and we'll reward you with an all-expenses-paid trip to the HOPE Summit including airfare, a two-night hotel stay, and ground transportation. Find more details on the Challenge here.
