Sponsors and Donations Grow as City of Hope Golf and Tennis Fundraiser Enters Final Stretch

City of Hope’s 30^th Annual West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament committee said support, registrations and excitement continue to grow in the final three-week stretch before the year’s largest furniture industry event on the west coast. The event will raise awareness and support for innovative cancer research and treatment at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses.

This year’s West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament is set for Monday, June 13, in Coto de Caza, Calif., and is on track to being one of the top fundraising events in its history, even as it was challenged with a shorter-than-usual fundraising window after the 2021 event was postponed to December 2021 due to the pandemic.

Rick Powell, who has led the event committee since the 1990s, noted that Roy Hester, senior vice president and managing director of Planned Furniture Promotions (PFP), and his team have worked tirelessly and creatively to drive support. Hester will receive the 2022 International Home Furnishings Industry Lifetime Achievement award.

“We are incredibly proud of this industry and the way it shows up for City of Hope. For those who are still considering it, we’d love to have you join us on June 13 for an event unlike any other, or by providing monetary support to a cause that truly changes lives every day,” Hester said.

PFP and City of Hope’s event committee thank all sponsors and supporters as they recognize top sponsors and special donations for the event:
