The American Cancer Society plans to build a "Hope Lodge" at the University of Minnesota to provide free housing for cancer patients and their families, officials announced today. The organization said it received a $7.5 million grant from the family of Richard Schulze, chairman of Best Buy Inc., to help build the new lodge, and to expand a similar one at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.... Schulze, who lost his first wife to cancer in 2001, said his family offered the grant "as our way of helping cancer patients deal with some of the stress related to this life-threatening disease."
