The label chairman/CEO is the organization’s first African-American female Spirit of Life honoree.
Rhone is the first African-American woman to be presented with the Spirit of Life Award. During her speech, she talked about the importance of inclusion in helping the City of Hope wage its ongoing fight to cure and ultimately prevent cancer and diabetes. She also issued a friendly industry challenge.
Rhone continued, “Now it’s my time, it’s our time, to take on this tremendous responsibility to help the future well-being of people. The power is in this room to change the outcome of diseases like cancer. So please help us in making this a banner year. Big Jon [Sony/ATV chairman/CEO Jon Platt, last year’s Spirit of Hope honoree] is my brother, but I want to be Jon. I want to be [12 Tone Music Group founder and former Spirit honoree] Doug Morris, who raised $10 million.
Co-chairs for the forthcoming City of Hope gala are Sony Music Entertainment CEO Rob Stringer, Sony/ATV’s Platt, The Azoff Company chairman/CEO Irving Azoff and LaPolt Law founder/owner Dina LaPolt.
