Blueprints for Hope is dedicated to advancing pancreatic cancer advocacy, research and education while supporting the next generation of architects and designers. Founded in honor of architect and changemaker Lance Evan Amato, our mission is to bring light, connection, and hope to others—just as Lance did every day of his life.

Our Mission

Inspired by Lance’s spirit and fueled by purpose, we’re building a future where no one faces pancreatic cancer alone and building bridges for architectural design education.
