As the International Home Furnishings Industry group and City of Hope enter the final stretch of fundraising for the 31st Annual West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament, officials and committee members emphasize the positive impact of sponsorships and donations across the country.

Through this event, the furniture industry continues its longstanding tradition of raising vital awareness and support for City of Hope’s innovative cancer research and treatments. As one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, City of Hope is committed to treating patients with diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses.

This year’s West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament, set for Monday, June 12, in Coto de Caza, Calif., is challenged with a high fundraising bar set by successful tournaments year after year. The 2023 honorees Patrick Cory, Howard Haimsohn and Doug Sanicola continue to make a strong drive for contributions and participation in these final weeks leading up to the event.

The day kicks off with golf registration at 8:00 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 10:00 a.m., while the tennis tournament begins at 11:00 a.m. Winding down the event is a reception with cocktails and auction at 3:30 p.m., followed by a dinner program.

Rick Powell, event committee co-chair since the 1990s, said, “There is certainly no end to what can be accomplished when a passionate industry like ours comes together, and we remain diligent about raising money and awareness for the patients of City of Hope.”
