The American Cancer Society is working to solve one of life’s greatest mysteries – how to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. During this mystery-themed inaugural event, 300 guests will embark on a journey to unlock clues and learn how ACS supports cancer patients and their families through advocacy, discovery, and support.
We’re excited to welcome you to an elegant evening of intrigue – with a twist. Many event details, including entertainment, will remain a mystery in the Discovery Ball vault. In the weeks leading up to the event, registered attendees will join us as we begin unlocking hope. What does that mean? You’ll have to wait to find out!

Leadership
Angela Malpedo, family business consultant with Compass Point Consulting, serves as a co-chair of this year’s Lehigh Valley Discovery Ball. Her connection to the American Cancer Society mission is deeply personal. During her father’s cancer treatment at Penn Medicine, Angela’s parents stayed at Hope Lodge many times. It provided them with comfort, support, and a sense of community during an incredibly difficult time.
Being involved in this event is her way of giving back to a place that meant so much to her family and helps ensure other families have the same support when they need it most.
Leadership
As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
