City of Hope and International Home Furnishings Industry (IHFI) officially kick off their fundraising campaign for the 31st annual West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament with a special event at the upcoming High Point Market.
With many sponsorship opportunities available, the list of industry organizations and leaders is growing for this year’s West Coast Golf & Tennis Tournament, one of two flagship events in support of City of Hope.
This year’s tournament and awards dinner will take place June 12 at the Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club in Southern California, honoring Patrick Cory of J.B. Hunt Final Mile, Howard Haimsohn of Lawrance Contemporary Furniture, and Doug Sanicola of Outdoor Elegance.
