LOS ANGELES, July 8 --

WHAT: City of Hope and Santa Fe Communications are launching their 8th
annual La Gota de la Vida campaign to support City of Hope, a leading
biomedical research and treatment institution for cancer and other
life-threatening diseases. The campaign will encourage community members to
register with the National Bone Marrow Registry. This year's activities
will include public service announcements, community events and a music
festival and will culminate in the annual Angels of Hope Awards.

This year's music festival will take place on July 12 at the Hollywood
Park racetrack. Renan Almendarez Coello, "El Cucuy de la Manana," will
serve as emcee, and performers will include Ezequiel Pena, Yolanda Del Rio,
Voces Del Rancho, Carmen Jara, Karyme Lozano and Tierra. Admission to the
concert is free, and tickets are available at Food 4 Less, Albertsons,
Superior Grocers and Ritmo Latino Music stores.

The Angels of Hope Awards will take place immediately after the

Paul Rodriguez and will include a list of celebrity and influential
presenters.
