Northeast Regional Cancer Institute’s Spirit of Hope Celebration to Honor Susan S. Belin

SCRANTON, PA – The Northeast Regional Cancer Institute and the Board of Ambassadors and Associate Board will host its seventh annual Spirit of Hope Celebration on Friday, November 2, 2018 from 7:00pm to 10:30pm at Mohegan Sun Pocono in the Keystone Grand Ballroom. Susan S. Belin will be the 2018 Spirit of Hope Tribute to Courage Honoree.

Susan S. Belin has had a great impact on many key organizations in our community. Her board service has included more than 15 organizations, serving as board chair for many of those non-profits.   Numerous additional groups have benefited from her expertise as a staff person or other professional affiliation.  She has been recognized with over a dozen awards for her work related to education, fundraising, the arts and healthcare.  For decades, she has served as a trusted advisor, committed leader and reliable role model.  Her leadership and knowledge can be seen in the successes of so many organizations in our community, but perhaps more than any other, in the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. 30 years ago, when a group of hospital administrators and oncology physicians had the novel and selfless idea to work together to improve cancer outcomes in our community, they looked to Susan to make their vision a reality.  In the extremely competitive field of health care, it is almost unheard of to this day to see this kind of inclusive collaboration occur, but yet somehow, Susan was able to make it work, and continue working for the past 27 years.

Join us on November 2 to honor Susan S. Belin. The event features cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, food stations, live music by Paul LaBelle and The Exact Change Band and a silent auction and gift card guarantee.  Tickets are $100 each and can be purchased by calling the Cancer Institute at (570) 941-7984 or online at www.cancernepa.org<http://www.cancernepa.org/>.
