About our event
Curtain Call for Hope is a benefit concert presented by Cues For Cancer, a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to arts-based healing. Through the power of live performance, this evening brings our community together to inspire hope — both on stage and off — for individuals and families affected by cancer and other health challenges. Every ticket sold and every sponsorship raised directly supports Cues For Cancer’s mission: creating transformative arts experiences that remind our community no one faces this journey alone. When the lights go up, something shifts — for one night, the weight of a diagnosis becomes shared, and that changes everything. By sponsoring Curtain Call for Hope, your business or organization stands alongside us in bringing hope, healing, and connection to those who need it most — while gaining meaningful visibility in front of an engaged, community-minded audience.

I’m Darrell Wood, founder and Executive Director of Cues For Cancer, a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to arts-based healing. I started Cues For Cancer out of a simple belief: that art has the power to heal, and that no one should face a cancer journey alone. Through performances, events, and programs like Curtain Call for Hope, we bring hope, connection, and community to individuals and families navigating cancer and other health challenges — inspiring hope both on stage and off.
Outside of Cues For Cancer, I bring a multidisciplinary background spanning nonprofit leadership, federal contracting communications, design, and artificial intelligence — including an MS in Artificial Intelligence and ongoing doctoral research focused on how mission-driven organizations can responsibly adopt emerging technology. But at the heart of everything I do is a commitment to using
creativity as a force for good. When I’m producing an event like this one, my goal is always the same: to create a moment where our community can gather, feel, and heal together
