Voices of Hope
About
Voices of Hope is a Winchester nonprofit performing arts group that raises money for cancer research through song. Its more than 150 volunteer members share a passion for the performing arts, and its performers, whose lives have all been affected by cancer in some way, put on shows that mix song, dance and testimony to celebrate loved ones, remember those lost, honor those who fight and rejoice for survivors. Members do not have to be performers: people who sew or swing a hammer are welcome too.
Since 2009 the group has donated more than $1.4 million to cancer research. From 2009 to 2011 it supported the Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Sciences at Dana-Farber, and since 2013 it has backed the Henri and Belinda Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies at Mass General Brigham, giving that center more than $1.2 million. The group says it is not a typical community theater program, since theater is its vehicle for fundraising, and it emphasizes an inclusive, supportive membership.
