Billy Porter will host and perform at the
City of Hope's 2022 Spirit of Life Gala on 10/27 at the
Pacific Design Center in L.A., where
Republic Records founders
Monte and
Avery Lipman are being honored with The Spirit of Life Award.
City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S., has also enlisted fellow Republic artist
Jack Johnson to perform.
City of Hope’s Music, Film and Entertainment Industry Group has raised nearly $125m over the course of its 49-year history, vital funds for pioneering research. This year, the Lipman brothers have continued the tradition with a campaign aimed at accelerating treatment innovations developed at City of Hope.
The Spirit of Life Award is presented to an "esteemed community of industry leaders" who've made significant contributions to City of Hope. Past Music, Film and Entertainment Industry group recipients include
Sylvia Rhone,
Jon Platt,
Mo Ostin,
Clive Davis,
Quincy Jones,
Joel A. Katz,
Coran Capshaw,
Frances W. Preston,
Eddy Cue,
Shelli and
Irving Azoff,
Edgar Bronfman Jr.,
Doug Morris and
Sir Lucian Grainge.
Additional Spirit of Life Gala details will be announced as the date inches closer. For more information, head
