The second annual Taste of Hope dinner and wine auction held on March 19 and presented by Mediabase raised $185,000 for City of Hope’s cancer research and treatment programs. The outstanding event was chaired by Alissa Pollack, SVP/Mediabase music initiatives and VP/Affiliate Relations for Premiere Radio Networks.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout in support of this event and for City of Hope,” said Pollack. “City of Hope’s physicians and scientists are committed to rapidly developing better treatments for patients everywhere. Our industry has a long history of support for the institution, and we’re thrilled that events like this play a part in advancing medicine.”
