High Point — City of Hope's annual Spirit of Life Award Dinner will be held in the tent outside Showplace on Wednesday, Oct. 3, during the fall High Point Market.
The dinner will feature the fourth annual "American Furniture Idol" competition, and singers can sign up by contacting the City of Hope's Michael Sandler at (800) 272-2310 or msandler@coh.org.
Industry members also can participate in two other events to support research and treatment programs at the California medical center. They are:
• The annual West Coast Golf and Tennis Tournament, June 4 in Coto de Caza, Calif. This is one of the City of Hope's largest golf outings. This year's tourney will honor Guildcraft of California executives Sid Blitz, Larry Quilling, Arthur Fink and Robert Papazian, who will receive Lifetime Achievement Awards for their leadership and philanthropy.
The outing has garnered over $2.9 million for City of Hope since its inception in 1989, including a record $1.1 million last year. Visit www.cityofhope.org/nhfi/tournament for information and to register.
• The fourth annual Midwest Dinner Cruise on Aug. 20 in Chicago. Last year's event attracted about 300 participants to the sunset cocktail party on the decks of a Mystic Blue Cruises boat.
