"Cure by Design" Gala Co-Chair Phil Lorio IV Outlines "Light the Way" Theme

NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, August 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Philip D. Lorio IV, an attorney with The Chopin Law Firm, recently appeared on Fox 8 to highlight the upcoming Cure by Design Gala and the vital community work supported by the American Cancer Society. The morning segment focused on raising awareness for the upcoming fall fundraising season and the essential assistance provided to cancer patients across Louisiana.

The Cure by Design Gala, formerly known as the Belles and Beaus Ball, serves as a primary fundraising initiative for the Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge in New Orleans. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Hope Lodge facility, which offers free accommodations to patients traveling for medical treatment.

Philip D. Lorio IV and his wife, Megan, are serving as co-chairs for the 26th annual event. During the broadcast, Lorio emphasized the meaningful impact of the Hope Lodge and highlighted the 2026 theme, "Light the Way."

The 2026 Cure by Design Gala takes place on Saturday, September 26, at Mardi Gras World in New Orleans. The black-tie event, presented by Ochsner MD Anderson Cancer Center, will honor 20 community members dedicated to advancing patient care, research, and local support services.

Justin Chopin, owner and managing partner of The Chopin Law Firm, will also be recognized at this year's gala as a 2026 Cure Champion Honoree. His participation underscores the firm's commitment to community advocacy and supporting Louisiana families during times of critical need.

The Chopin Law Firm is proud to support the American Cancer Society and the families who rely on its services. By helping eliminate the burden of travel and lodging costs, the Hope Lodge allows patients and their families to focus entirely on health and recovery during treatment.

"We've been in the process of putting together that whole theme and making it really come to life, but it's beautiful because it is the 20th year of the Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge," said Lorio during the broadcast. "We are honoring 20 amazing people in the community who have been in the background, and we're trying to get them into the forefront to help raise money and sponsorships."

The Chopin Law Firm remains dedicated to standing alongside Louisiana families, offering trusted legal representation while actively participating in initiatives that strengthen the surrounding community.
