THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT

Please check back soon for information on the 2020 Gala

 

Each year, the Spirit of Life® Award is presented to an individual in each corporate industry who exemplifies the ideals and values that have guided City of Hope for over a century, and whose professional and humanitarian accomplishments are worthy of celebration — leaders in the industry and the community. Recipients of this prestigious award include a broad range of leaders from the world of business, entertainment, science and philanthropy. What connects them is a shared commitment to elevating the human condition and a profound belief in the power of each individual to affect change.

In 2019, the annual NLIC Spirit of Life Gala will be held in Washington, D.C., where we will honor an incredible philanthropist and industry leader, Royce Imhoff of Lion Street.
