A dynamic team of American Cancer Society staff, over 60 volunteers, the San Francisco Associate Board of Ambassadors, sponsors, partners and the dedicated and tireless Board of Ambassadors, raised over $1.2 million in the fight against cancer.

American Cancer Society CEO Gary Reedy and his wife Cindy joined the festivities and presented two special awards. The 2019 ACS Discovery Gala Corporate Partnership Award was presented to Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Phil Davis, President, Hybrid IT and Jon Faust, SVP & CFO Hybrid IT, for their leadership and impact in support of the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. Also, Jose Ramos received the 2019 American Cancer Society St. George Award for excellence in volunteerism. The remarkable Jessica Aguirre, Emmy Award-winning Co-Anchor for KNTV NBC 11 Bay Area News, emceed the evening’s festivities.

It was truly a sensational night –seeing Raising Hope Honoree, Kim Hammonds, dancing on stage with the featured performer, Gin Blossoms, captured the essence of the evening perfectly.
