Scott Fader Named 2022 ACS Philanthropy Partner of the Year

We are proud to announce that Scott Fader, MileOne Chief Operating Officer, has been named the 2022 American Cancer Society Philanthropy Partner of the Year. The Philanthropy Partner of the Year Award is a national award that recognizes an individual or foundation that has partnered with the American Cancer Society and made an incredible impact on the success of ACS' fundraising and development goals. 

Since 2000, MileOne has raised over $4.8 Million to help ACS fight cancer and support local patients with their transportation needs. Over our 22 year partnership, we've sponsored Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (both in Maryland and Virginia), donated vehicles to the ACS raffle fundraiser, raising between $60,000 to $100,000 annually, donated hours and meals to Hope Lodge, and supported fundraising efforts through our Subaru dealerships and their Share the Love campaigns. 

Funds raised have been dedicated to providing free rides to treatment for cancer patients through our Transportation to Treatment campaign, totaling over 10,200 free rides for cancer patients in the areas of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. In addition to the free rides, we have a longstanding history of supporting the Baltimore Hope Lodge. Most recently, MileOneCares pledged $260,000 to create a Guest Services Welcome Suite at the future reimagined and larger Baltimore Hope Lodge location. Lastly, these funds support local research at area hospitals to help in the fight against cancer.

We look forward to continuing our meaningful partnership with ACS as we focus on providing access to safe transportation to those in the communities we serve.
