2015 Spirit
of Life ® Honoree
On behalf of Hewlett-Packard and the National Business Products
Industry (NBPI) Council, please accept our sincere thanks and
appreciation for our record success last year, raising $12.4 million.
Those efforts brought our industry’s 32 year support total to an
astounding $130 million!
Our record success was due to the collective efforts from the hundreds of
business products companies and executives that support City of Hope
each and every year. More important, new therapies, drugs and discoveries developed at
City of Hope have made a difference, currently impacting the lives of millions of patients
across the globe every year. It is easy to see how our partnership with City of Hope, in their
quest to save and extend lives, is truly one of our greatest achievements.
As you know, our work is far from complete. We call upon NBPI executives to activate your
personal and company support:
• Attend and host fundraising events and golf outings.
• Engage your associates to initiate employee giving activities and payroll deductions.
• Designate a product that supports City of Hope, where a portion of sales are donated.
• Participate in one of our personal gift clubs or consider placing City of Hope in your
estate.
• Seek support from your company’s foundation.
• Serve as an ambassador for City of Hope and encourage others to get involved.
Hope matters to the patients and families who are battling cancer and diabetes. Thank you
in advance for your kind consideration and generous support.

NBPI and City of Hope
Working together to find a cure
For decades, the National Business Products Industry (formerly the
National Office Products Industry) has bolstered the search for cures at
City of Hope. The industry’s generosity made possible landmarks where
innovative science and medicine happen. Today, the National Business
Products Industry's support remains crucial to City of Hope’s efforts to
quickly translate lab discoveries into better treatment for patients around
the world.
In 1983, a group of corporate leaders banded together to form the
National Business Products Council, an alliance dedicated to supporting
City of Hope. In more than 32 years of annual fundraising, this group has
passed a remarkable milestone: $130 million raised for the search for cures.
The industry has created a legacy with lifesaving impact.
2014 Events
Support from the National Business Products Industry has been
instrumental in funding milestone projects at City of Hope — buildings
like the Center for Biomedicine & Genetics, City of Hope Helford Clinical
Research Hospital and the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Cancer
Immunotherapeutics & Tumor Immunology.
“We encourage you to host a golf outing, give your
associates the opportunity to get involved or create a
product that donates a portion of sales to City of Hope.
It improves relationships with your vendors, creates a
positive culture within your organization and develops
brand loyalty with consumers.”

leaders from the National Business Products Industry gather to honor
one person who embodies a spirit of service and unwavering dedication
to helping City of Hope find cures for cancer and other life-threatening
diseases. This year, the “Hope Matters” initiative culminates at the
Spirit of Life Gala on September 17, 2015 at the Chicago Hilton. We will
join together to honor Steve Sakumoto of Hewlett-Packard Company
and his leadership in the industry’s efforts to support City of Hope’s
lifesaving mission. This promises to be an inspiring night, celebrating
the industry’s tradition of passionate support for the quest for cures at
City of Hope.

that strategically align businesses with a specific cause consumers
care about. In an effort to integrate values and social issues into
brand equity and identity, these ventures drive loyalty, differentiate
companies from their competitors and enhance credibility, while
simultaneously raising funds that directly benefit a worthy cause.
Business products industry leaders across the country have

have enjoyed the benefits that come from connecting themselves
with an institution recognized nationwide for its aggressive and
groundbreaking research and treatment of cancer, diabetes and
other life-threatening diseases.

Ways to Give
Employee Giving
An employee giving program supporting City of Hope strengthens your
company’s community involvement initiatives while boosting both your
reputation for corporate responsibility and your team’s morale.
What is an employee giving/payroll pledge program?
Payroll pledge programs, also called payroll deduction, are one of the easiest,
most efficient ways to raise money for City of Hope. For as little as $1 a week,
employees can make a difference in the fight against life-threatening diseases.
You also can direct United Way donations to City of Hope.
AUCTIONS for Hope
A unique way to support City of Hope is by donating exclusive experiences,
events or items to be auctioned online to benefit research, treatment and
education. Donating uncommon or unique items such as a meet-andgreet with a celebrity, VIP tickets to an event or an internship within your
organization can garner funds for City of Hope while also generating positive
awareness for your organization and its philanthropy.
Support from the Ground up
For more than 30 years, the business products industry's partnership with
City of Hope has served as a catalyst, inspiring others to join in and support
the quest to cure cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

“Our company supports City of Hope through employee
giving programs. It provides a real morale boost for our

A Lasting legacy of HOpe
In 2011, the industry set an ambitious goal for its personal giving efforts and dedicated the funding
to a crucial area of support.
Leaders pledged $1 million to fund leading-edge diabetes investigations at City of Hope. This pledge
established the National Business Products Industry Professorship in Diabetes Research. The
endowed position means that when you donate, your gift keeps on giving in perpetuity — fueling
future research to defeat diabetes.
Thanks to our generous benefactors we have reached our $1 million goal!
Almost 26 million Americans must face diabetes. City of Hope
strives to help them live longer, better lives. And your support
is vital.
I want to personally thank each member of the National Business
Products Industry for honoring me with the distinction of the
National Business Products Industry Professor in Diabetes
Research. Your faith in the promise of my research is so very
meaningful to me.
As the rates of diabetes continue to rise dramatically,
understanding its causes and complications is vital. NBPI’s generosity is
helping me to identify genetic underpinnings of diabetes, and complications
like heart disease and kidney failure. Ultimately, this research will help us
develop new ways to treat people coping with these life-threatening health
issues — touching the lives of so many men, women and children here and
around the world.

Gift and Estate Planning
Appreciated property — Earn a significant income tax deduction while avoiding
capital gains taxes with a gift of appreciated securities or real property.
Bequest — Remember City of Hope in your will or living trust and retain full control
of your property during your lifetime while reducing your taxable estate.
Charitable gift annuity — A gift of cash or property can provide lifetime income to
you or a designated loved one, while earning a current income tax deduction.
Charitable remainder trust — An irrevocable gift of appreciated assets pays income
to you and your beneficiaries and allows you to reduce your taxable estate.
Retained life estate — Give full or partial interest in your home while residing in it for
as long as you choose, lower your taxable estate and enjoy a current tax deduction.
Retirement plan — Name City of Hope as the beneficiary of your retirement account
and reduce your taxable estate.
A longtime supporter of City of Hope
through United Stationers and the annual
National Business Products Industry
fundraising initiative, Jeff Howard, along with
his wife Sarah and their two children Lindsay
and Tyler, wanted a way to continue that
support on a personal level. Estate planning
and leading the Business Products Industry
Estate Giving Challenge effort was a perfect
fit for them. “Our commitment to give back
Sarah, Jeff, Lindsay and Tyler Howard
and help others has always been a family
affair. The decision we made to include City of Hope in our estate plans — and help fund
research that will save lives in the future — might actually impact the lives of our kids and
grandkids. It doesn’t have to be a large gift. Everything and every little bit helps — and if
everyone does something, it can really add up.”
THe Mission of HOpe

treatment and education at City of Hope.
