Beyoncé To Perform At City Of Hope Gala
City of Hope, a world-renowned independent research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases, will also present its highest honor, the prestigious Spirit of Life® award, to Jon Platt, Chairman and CEO of Warner/Chappell Music. The evening’s host will be Pharrell Williams, and JAY-Z will also be on hand to present the Spirit of Life® award to Platt, who has worked with Beyoncé since 2005.
Beyoncé commented, “I am happy to be in a room that celebrates Jon and the important work he does behind the scenes. City of Hope has done much needed research and has provided quality care for patients for over a hundred years. I’m honored to be a part of an event that represents an organization that works so tirelessly caring for others first and foremost.”
During its 45-year history, City of Hope’s Music, Film and Entertainment Industry Group has raised more than $118 million for City of Hope and has honored some of the most important figures in the music and entertainment industry. [Beyoncé & JAY-Z photo credit: Raven Varona]
