In support of the event, over 80 golfers were in attendance, representing member distributor and supplier companies from a range of industries including:
- Industrial Packaging

“Each year we are inspired to learn about the advancements City of Hope is making in eradicating cancer and diabetes,” says Michael Wilson, president & CEO of AFFLINK. “We are proud to support their efforts and to promote their mission across our industry. I am honored that AFFLINK can play a key role in helping them achieve such a worthwhile goal.”
City of Hope is one of only 54 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S. The NCI designation recognizes excellence in treatment, research, and expertise to address the many facets of the disease.
They are also a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), reflecting their national leadership in advancing research and treatment. NCCN member institutions are recognized for their world-renowned specialists and for treating complex, rare, and aggressive forms of cancer.
