City of Hope will recognize furniture and bedding industry leaders Jeff Seaman and Bob Sherman with its Spirit of Life award during the April High Point Market in High Point, N.C. This year’s event will be at 6 p.m. Sunday, April 22, at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C.
The Los Angeles-based research, treatment and education center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases presents the award annually to home furnishings industry executives in recognition of business leadership and philanthropic achievements.
Seaman is chief executive officer of furniture retailer Rooms To Go, headquartered in Seffner, Fla. Sherman is CEO of mattress major Serta, based in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
Both are being honored for raising funds and awareness for City of Hope within the industry.
“It is a privilege to be part of this incredible industry and witness how our support is making a tremendous impact in the lives of patients and families all over the country,” Sherman said.
“The national home furnishings industry has been a longtime supporter of City of Hope’s innovative medical research and lifesaving programs,” said Kevin O’Connor, chairman of City of Hope’s Spirit of Life initiative.
