Employees of AICO recently participated in the annual Walk for Hope on the campus of City of Hope to support the annual fundraising event.
The 59-person AICO All-Stars team included employees, family and close friends. Led by Martin Ploy, AICO president, the team was part of about 8,000 participants.
“I am so proud of our team,” Ploy said. “Every year we dedicate ourselves to raising money for this Walk for Hope. So far, this year we’ve been able to contribute over $20,000 to this great event. We're very proud of our ongoing commitment to City of Hope to help fight women's cancer and hope we inspire others to join the fight, as well.”
City of Hope is leading the battle against cancers unique to women through research, treatment and education. The Walk for Hope event provides funds to support City of Hope’s efforts to push the boundaries of science to advance research and treatments on behalf of women everywhere.
“We’ve been very fortunate to receive donations from many of our dealers and other industry friends,” Ploy said. “The tremendous support from Michael Amini and the AICO family have made the AICO All-Stars one of the most consistent and best fundraising teams.”
