City of Hope recently named The QUIKRETE® Companies, the leading manufacturer of packaged concrete products for the building and home improvement markets, its “2017 Spirit of Life” honoree. The QUIKRETE® Companies proudly joins a list of past “Spirit of Life” award winners from the hardware and homebuilding industry recognized by City of Hope for an unwavering commitment in the fight against cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses. Based in Southern California and one of the country’s foremost research and patient care institutions, City of Hope presents the Spirit of Life award annually to celebrate humanitarian contributions and accomplishments that help elevate the human condition. Honored at a reception last month during the International Builders’ Show, The QUIKRETE® Companies was not only humbled by the recognition, but reaffirmed its commitment to champion City of Hope on behalf of the hardware and homebuilding industry, which has raised more than $150 million in the past 35 years.
