City of Hope event raises $400,000
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, June 22, 2009
Coto De Caza, Calif. — More than 400 supporters of City of Hope gathered here at the 18th annual West Coast Golf and Tennis Tournament earlier this month to honor Jake Jabs, president and CEO of American Furniture Warehouse, with the City of Hope's Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award recognizes outstanding philanthropic and business accomplishments.
The event, hosted by the National Home Furnishings Industry supporters of City of Hope, raised more than $400,000 for the facility's research and treatment for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Jabs, whose 12-store Colorado chain is No. 27 on Furniture/Today's Top 100 survey of U.S. furniture stores, said he was honored "to support the institution's efforts to advance medical knowledge and pursue scientific research so that the people here and everywhere have access to the highest quality medical care."
In its 18-year history, the West Coast Golf and Tennis Tournament and dinner have raised more than $4 million for City of Hope.
