Thank you for coming together today to Celebrate Irvine!

Over the last 45 years, the Greater Irvine Chamber of Commerce has been a catalyst for local economic growth through innovation and technology. The City of Irvine is thriving as a model city and as a global destination for business, with a diverse industry landscape that spans medical, biochemical, medical device, automotive, energy, advanced manufacturing and so much more. City of Hope Orange County is honored to be part of this vibrant community to bring our highly-specialized cancer research and treatment to our neighbors, coworkers, families and friends.

Today, we celebrate the individuals and organizations that have demonstrated excellence in our local community and have made significant contributions to the city of Irvine, making this city a great place to live, work and visit.

As we acknowledge the great work today, let us also celebrate the incredible potential the future holds for innovation here in our city. With all of the incredible resources we have as a collective community, the next 45 years quite possibly hold the solutions to some of our greatest challenges. At City of Hope, we are working diligently to find tomorrow’s cures for the people who need them today. You and your organization are likely working on your own discoveries, inventions and innovations that will transform tomorrow. The future is ours to shape!

Congratulations to all the nominees and the award recipients who will be honored today.
