FORSUM President and COO, Landsea Homes
BRINGING FAMILIES TOGETHER WITH HOPE
I am extremely proud to be a part of City of Hope and commend everything they do – from pioneering groundbreaking research to delivering accelerated, personalized care to families across the nation.
But it goes beyond this. It’s about the physicians, nurses, staff, and administrators that support patients and their families every step of the way – giving them strength, courage, and determination throughout their journey, when they need it most. Their unwavering commitment has touched the lives of so many, including my own.
From my family to yours, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to City of Hope and our donors for making this support a reality. Your generosity ensures this life-saving organization can continue to offer the cures of tomorrow to the people who need them today.
