On October 10, the Fashion and Retail group supporting the City of Hope held a Spirit of Life Award gala in downtown Los Angeles, honoring Halston CEO Ben Malka. Sponsors of the event included Wells Fargo Capital Finance.
Ben put together an outstanding event, recreating Studio 54 at Exchange LA.
Guests were entertained by the Pointer Sisters, Miley Cyrus, and Jordin Sparks with Boogie Knights as the house band. In addition, the Andy Warhol estate agreed to allow a number of his paintings to be shown at the event.
The Gala raised more than $900,000 to benefit City of Hope in its fight against cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Wells Fargo Capital Finance has worked with City of Hope for more than ten years, and we’ve seen firsthand how their approach towards developing cures moves treatment from the test phase to deployment in the medical field in a rapid manner. We are honored to be among the sponsors of this important award.
