Can You Taste The Excitement?
City of Hope’s Music, Film and Entertainment Industry Group proudly presents its 11th annual Taste of Hope Event on Thursday, March 23 in New York City. Over the last decade, this amazing event has brought together the industry’s most elite executives and a bunch of high profile attendees. And speaking of which, this event was founded by Alissa Pollack, EVP of Global Music Marketing at iHeartMedia, who continues to lead the event committee, comprised of a star-studded group of industry icons — Steve Bartels, CEO of Def Jam; Tom Corson, President & COO of RCA Records; Shawn “Pecas” Costner, VP of Player Relations at Roc Nation Sports; Bruce Gearhart, President at Bacchus Importers, LTD.; Peter Gray, GM & EVP of Promotion & Media at Warner Bros. Records; Richard Palmese, CEO of Palmese Entertainment at Azoff Music Group; Antonio “L.A.” Reid, Chairman & CEO at Epic Records; Marcus Grant, Manager at TwentyThree12; Dave Dyer, SVP of Promotion at Warner Bros. Records; Mike Easterlin, President of Roadrunner Records and Greg Thompson, President of Maverick Music.
This annual event, considered one of the industry’s most exclusive networking evenings, will include a hosted cocktail reception, dinner and a live and silent auction. A portion of funds raised at the 11th annual Taste of Hope will go to the Jason Pollack Memorial Fund at Musicians on Call, which supports music programming for patients and their families at City of Hope.
