Cushing, a creative display graphics firm, announced that EVP Joseph X. Cushing will receive City of Hope’s the Spirit of Life Award. City of Hope’s most prestigious honor, Cushing has been involved with the organization for more than 24 years. He will be presented with the award at a gala dinner on Nov. 8.
“Joe’s twenty-plus year involvement, along with the support of other Chicago construction, real estate and design leaders for the past 25 years, has been amazing,” said Sarah Jakubowski Maraccini, senior director of corporate national philanthropy at City of Hope. “It has been vital to City of Hope’s scientific breakthroughs, innovative research and compassionate patient care.”
Founded more than 100 years ago as a provider of charity care for tuberculosis patients, City of Hope is now a world-renowned biomedical research, treatment, and education center. Twenty-five years ago, local construction area businesses and real estate professionals came together to found the Chicago Construction and Real Estate Council for City of Hope. The Council raises funds for cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening disease research.
“It’s humbling to be recognized by an organization at the forefront of saving lives and volunteer work I am passionate about,” said Cushing. “We still have much work to do, and I’m excited to continue supporting this terrific organization.”
