My Story…

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page :) For those of you who may not know me, my name is Samantha Patalano (Sam) and I am a PhD student in the Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry program at Boston University. I currently live in Brookline, MA, but I spend a lot of time down the Cape visiting my dad and stepmom (full-time Falmouth residents) as well as my in-laws (Hyannis summer residents). My dad owns the local NAPA Auto Parts stores in Falmouth, Mashpee, Hyannis and Orleans and it gives him great joy to donate to local charities, such as Tommy's Place. Therefore, I hope to follow in his footsteps and help raise money for Tommy's Place by running on their team for the 2024 Falmouth Road Race! Any donations for this wonderful charity would be much appreciated.

Description

Tommy's Place Opens Second Location!!

Tommy's Place owns and operates two 10+ bedroom year-round magical vacation homes for kids fighting cancer.  The homes are located in Falmouth and Centerville on Cape Cod. One family at a time, along with their extended family and friends, visits for a one week, free of charge, dream vacation to relax, make memories and most importantly have FUN!

Tommy's Place homes are equipped with inground swimming pools, game rooms, movie theatres, home taverns, arts + crafts rooms, music rooms, chef's kitchens, and much, much more.  A magical experience for the entire family! 
 
Since opening in July of 2021, over 175 families have vacationed at one of the Tommy's Place homes. In 2024, Tommy's Place will begin to offer magical vacations to 104 families per year at its two vacation homes. Tommy's Place receives guest referrals from 11 New England children's hospitals and all families are placed through a lottery system. Guests are aged 3-17, actively being treated for pediatric cancer, and living permanently and full-time in New England.
