Behr Builds on its 25 Year Relationship with City of Hope

Community Development

Throughout 2020, Behr Paint Company has continued its more than 25-year relationship with City of Hope, a national leader in the fight to help patients conquer cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases. They accomplish this by providing outstanding care, conducting innovative research and offering vital education programs focused on eliminating these diseases.

The Behr team has an extensive history of supporting City of Hope, through employee donations, assorted employee fundraisers, blood drives and annual golf events. Behr has also been proud to sponsor the Survivor’s Pavilion at City of Hope’s annual Walk for Hope event.

Reflecting on Behr’s long support for City of Hope, Behr President Jeff Filley said, “In the memory of those we have lost, those who are fighting cancer today, and those yet to be diagnosed, City of Hope continues its fight for better treatments, preventions and cures. Behr supports this effort wholeheartedly.” Behr and all our Masco companies are thankful for this organization’s lifesaving work and will continue to find ways to support City of Hope’s vision for a future free of cancer.
