The Harold and Carole Pump Foundation celebrated their 25th Anniversary Celebrity Dinner honoring Aaron Donald, Barry Bonds, Spike Lee and Wayne Gretzky with the Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as Reggie McKnight and R.J.
Melman with the Humanitarian Award.
The event took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and the milestone evening raised over $2.8 million in support of the foundation’s mission to advance cancer treatment and fund critical programs. The evening featured a show-stopping performance by GRAMMY-nominated artist and producer Robin Thicke, as well as one-of-a-kind auction items including exclusive sports memorabilia, VIP experiences, and luxury travel packages.
On stage, Dana Pump, co-founder of the Harold and Carole Pump Foundation, shared, “Twenty-five years – I’m blessed, I am really, really blessed.
I’m so thankful to so many people,” while his brother and co-founder David Pump continued, “Twenty-five years ago, I made a promise to my late father that my brother and I would try to make a difference in our community – not through words, but through actions.
Tonight, my heart is full.
We've taken so many steps to get here, and both Dana and I, along with our family, are very appreciative of everyone here to support us”
