The Leadership Team of Boutique at the Rink, in coordination with the Cancer Support Community, Greater Lehigh Valley, and St. Luke’s University Health Network, have announced name, location and date changes to the event as it enters its 49th year.

Effective immediately, the event will be known as Boutique for Hope.

According to the news release, this new name truly encapsulates the support the event provides for all cancer patients, caregivers and their families in our Greater Lehigh Valley area.

In addition, the event will now take place at St. Luke’s SportsPlex, 4636 Crackersport Road, Allentown.

This new venue, a popular pickleball destination, offers significant indoor space, providing an air-conditioned and weather-protected environment for shoppers and volunteers.

Key Dates are:

•Collections: May 19 through May 31 (excluding May 25 and 26).

•Sale Days: June 11 to 14.

Boutique for Hope, which has been a cornerstone event since 1974, raised over $350,000 in 2024, supporting the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, St. Luke’s Cancer Center, and St. Luke’s Hospice.

Initially started by the wives of Bethlehem Steel employees, the event is now run by more than 400 dedicated volunteers.
