Platt To Receive Spirit Of Life Award
The Spirit of Life® Award is City of Hope’s highest honor, and each year recognizes a philanthropic leader whose work has fundamentally impacted music, film or entertainment. The award is one of the most prestigious in the music industry, having previously been presented to such noted figures as Mo Ostin, Clive Davis, Quincy Jones, Frances W. Preston, Shelli & Irving Azoff, Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Doug Morris and Sir Lucian Grainge. Platt will be presented with the award at a black-tie gala dinner to be held on October 11 in Los Angeles.
Robert W. Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer of City of Hope, remarked, “City of Hope is proud to honor Jon Platt; not just because of his deep commitment to our work, but because he is at the forefront of a new generation of leaders who are champions of compassion and collaboration. The music, film, and entertainment industries have long been generous and essential supporters of City of Hope, and we are excited to be partnering with Jon for this year’s Spirit of Life® campaign.” For more information about this event, please visit cityofhope.org.
