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. The event is now known as Boutique for Hope.

“This new name truly encapsulates the support the event provides for all cancer patients, caregivers and their families in our Greater Lehigh Valley area,” a news release about the event said.

Formerly held at the Bethlehem Municipal Ice Rink, the event will now be held at St. Luke’s SportsPlex at 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,” the release said.

Donations will be collected May 21-24 and May 27-31. This year’s sale will be held June 11-14.

Begun in 1974, the Boutique raised over $350,000 in 2024 in support of the Cancer Support Community – Greater Lehigh Valley, St. Luke’s Cancer Center and St. Luke’s Hospice. Founded by the wives of Bethlehem Steel employees, the event is now run by more than 400 dedicated volunteers.
