There are a thousand or more reasons someone like you might choose to support City of Hope.

Perhaps, like nearly all of us, you have a friend or loved one who has battled cancer, and you give in honor of his or her fight. Maybe they were even treated here at City of Hope.
It is possible you have been touched by the inspiring stories of cancer survivors at City of Hope you have seen in the media. Or, you could be fascinated by City of Hope's leadership in the lifesaving use of advanced technology like robotic surgery, lasers and genetic engineering.
Maybe you grew up in Southern California, and City of Hope has always been your "hometown cancer hospital." Or you could be a new friend who heard about us for the first time last fall through our partnership with FOX Sports Supports.
Most likely, some of these reasons -- and many I did not list -- all play a part in your decision to be a partner of City of Hope in our effort to defeat cancer.
I hope you will take this opportunity, while it is still early in the year, to renew your partnership with City of Hope by sending a gift today. As you will discover in this issue of HopeCONNECTION, our friends at 3M will double your gift if it arrives before the deadline.
Whatever your reason for supporting City of Hope, thank you: for your compassion, for your generosity, and for your leadership in the battle against cancer and other deadly diseases.
