   Tommy\'s Place homes are magical vacation homes for kids fighting cancer. Our original location is in Falmouth, MA, and opened in July of 2021. Our second location is located in Centerville, MA on Cape Cod and opened in June of 2023. We provide one week, free of charge, dream vacations to kids fighting cancer. One family at a time, along with their extended family and friends visits the home for a dream vacation to relax, make memories and most importantly have FUN! The homes are 10+ bedrooms and are equipped with game rooms, music rooms, arts and crafts, home taverns, inground swimming pools and much, much more. Tommy\'s Place draws its guests from across New England and is often described as \"Disney without the rides\" by our visiting families.The homes are named after world famous and legendary Falmouth Road Race founder, and former orphan, Tommy Leonard. The homes are also dedicated in memory of Grifyn Sawyer, an 8-year-old from Lynn, MA, who passed away from pediatric cancer, but in turn also became the inspiration to provide not only a respite, but a place to have fun and make memories like he and his family did on a vacation trip to Edgartown on Martha\'s Vineyard several years
