Spirit of Life® Award
The Spirit of Life values have guided City of Hope for nearly a century.
The Spirit of Life Award is presented to individuals who exemplify the ideals and values that have guided City of Hope for nearly a century, and whose professional and humanitarian accomplishments are worthy of celebration.
Recipients of this prestigious award include a broad range of leaders from the world of business, entertainment, science and philanthropy. What connects them is a shared commitment to elevating the human condition and a profound belief in the power of each individual to effect change.
The Spirit of Life Award, by its very name, represents the intangible qualities that make an individual’s life worthy of admiration: their generosity, their ability to inspire and their desire to make a difference in the world.
The award is modeled after the original bronze statue that sits atop the fountain at the entrance to City of Hope. Crafted by artist Robert Russin, the statue celebrates the concept of family and reflects the institution’s long-standing commitment to holistic care for those affected by cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
City of Hope extends its heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to its Spirit of Life honorees past and present. CityofHope.org
