CGL LOST Poster Charity Auction!
We are excited to announce that our first small online charity auction of 2025 will feature 15 rare and signed LOST posters of various sizes!
This auction will be open from January 19 - 26 for fans around the world, and ALL proceeds from the auction will be donated directly to the Lymphoma Research Foundation by winning bidders. In the spirit of genuine honesty, the reason I selected the LRF to receive 100% of the proceeds from this CGL charity auction is that my brother is currently undergoing aggressive treatment for a rare blood cancer. Supporting this particular cancer charity truly means the world to me and to my family.
HERE is the link to the auction, if you’d like to preview the posters and also register in advance!
**Please also take the time to read our full post with shipping logistics, donation information, etc.
FYI, our much larger 2025 CGL Online Charity Auction (featuring rare and signed items from over 30 of your favorite shows, films and musicians) will open in either late March or early April; stay tuned for exact dates!

CGL to Host New England Premiere of “Getting LOST” Documentary!
Cancer Gets Lost is thrilled to announce that we are hosting the New England Premiere of Getting LOST next month, just outside of Boston MA!
CGL is deeply honored to not only have the opportunity to screen the documentary locally (we are located in the Boston area), but to also be featured in the film itself. Shout-out of massive gratitude to Director Taylor Morden, and Producers Emily Morden and Ralph D. Apel for both reasons!
We’d also like to thank our good friend Christina E. for helping to make this happen in her hometown!
SCREENING DETAILS
November 9 and 10, 2024
Warwick Cinemas: 123 Pleasant Street in Marblehead, MA (16 miles from Boston, on the coast!)
THREE screenings:
Sat Nov 9 at 4pm and 7:30pm (both screenings are SOLD OUT!)
Sun Nov 10 at 2:30pm (tickets still available!)

Before each screening, CGL will be hosting a Live Charity Auction featuring one rare LOST item or package! ALL auction proceeds will be donated directly to the Lymphoma Research Foundation (in honor of my brother, who is bravely battling a rare blood cancer right now).
And after each screening, we will also be hosting a film Q&A!
OTHER LOGISTICS
There is a parking lot behind the cinema, as well as unmetered street parking nearby. If you live locally and want to take public transportation, the MBTA stops very close by. Taking a Lyft or Uber is obviously an option too if you don’t want to deal with parking!
The Beacon Restaurant and Bar is attached to the theater, and it will be open from 12pm to 12am. The kitchen closes at 9:30pm but the bar is open until midnight, FYI.
You’re welcome to arrive early and stay late; we will be hanging out in the lobby an hour or two before the first screening and after the second screening on Saturday, and before/after on Sunday too!
We will have CGL wristbands and LOST keychains for all who are able to attend. One per person, while supplies last. :)
UPDATE: if you have one, bring a small poster tube! CGL will also be handing out LOST posters to everyone that attends the screenings! They each measure 11 x 17 inches.
