Sunny Isles Beach Mayor Norman S. Edelcup was recognized with a Spirit of Life Award from City of Hope. The mayor was given the award at a dinner in his honor hosted by the City of Hope Phyllis Dropkin Chapter at the Trump Sonesta Beach Resort where more than 300 people were in attendance and Attorney Cliff Schulman was Master of Ceremonies.

Over $250,000 was raised at the event to benefit lifesaving research, treatment and education programs at City of Hope, one of the world’s leading research and treatment centers for cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. The national research facility, founded in 1913, is one of 39 Comprehensive Cancer Centers, the highest designation bestowed by the National Cancer Institute, and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. It’s a pioneer in the fields of bone marrow transplantation and genetics, and shares its scientific knowledge with medical centers locally and globally, helping patients battling life-threatening diseases.
