 Chapter History

Photo of Jacob ZewidmanUnder the leadership of Jacob Zeidman, a group of people from the Inland Empire got together in 2005 with the idea that they wanted to share the message of City of Hope with the Inland Empire communities.

This group of executives, community leaders and entrepreneurs has achieved a remarkable amount of success in its short history. Their profound generosity helps City of Hope continue turning laboratory discoveries into effective treatments, touching the lives of millions worldwide.

Jacob passed away in 2008, leaving a legacy of his focused dedication to impacting lives. In Jacob’s memory we strive to carry on his efforts of outreach to the Inland Empire communities.
