Congrats to Event Chair and iHEARTMEDIA EVP/Global Music Marketing's ALISSA POLLACK and her TASTE OF HOPE Committee members. 

POLLACK told ALL ACCESS, "I'm truly humbled and awed by the incredible turn out to this year's TASTE OF HOPE. I love working with our amazing committee to break artists and records all year but, breaking this kind of record for attendance and fundraising means we're saving lives and making a difference in the fight against Cancer, AIDS and Diabetes. 

"In addition, we are bringing the healing power of music to the bedsides of hundreds of patients at City of Hope through the JASON POLLACK BEDSIDE PERFORMANCE PROGRAM with MUSICIANS ON CALL. I'm so thankful to everyone on the committee and to all of the incredibly generous people who come out year after year to support us and help me honor my father."
