Those efforts brought our industry’s 32 year support total to an astounding $130 million! Our record success was due to the collective efforts from the hundreds of business products companies and executives that support City of Hope each and every year. More important, new therapies, drugs and discoveries developed at City of Hope have made a difference, currently impacting the lives of millions of patients across the globe every year. It is easy to see how our partnership with City of Hope, in their quest to save and extend lives, is truly one of our greatest achievements. As you know, our work is far from complete. We call upon NBPI executives to activate your personal and company support: • Attend and host fundraising events and golf outings. • Engage your associates to initiate employee giving activities and payroll deductions. • Designate a product that supports City of Hope, where a portion of sales are donated. • Participate in one of our personal gift clubs or consider placing City of Hope in your estate. • Seek support from your company’s foundation. • Serve as an ambassador for City of Hope and encourage others to get involved. Hope matters to the patients and families who are battling cancer and diabetes. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration and generous support. 2 Sincerely, The Spirit of Life‰ Award is presented to individuals who exemplify the ideals and values that have guided City of Hope for nearly a century, and whose professional and humanitarian accomplishments are worthy of celebration.

Leaders pledged $1 million to fund leading-edge diabetes investigations at City of Hope. This pledge established the National Business Products Industry Professorship in Diabetes Research. The endowed position means that when you donate, your gift keeps on giving in perpetuity — fueling future research to defeat diabetes. Thanks to our generous benefactors we have reached our $1 million goal! Almost 26 million Americans must face diabetes. City of Hope strives to help them live longer, better lives. And your support is vital. I want to personally thank each member of the National Business Products Industry for honoring me with the distinction of the National Business Products Industry Professor in Diabetes Research. Your faith in the promise of my research is so very meaningful to me. As the rates of diabetes continue to rise dramatically, understanding its causes and complications is vital. NBPI’s generosity is helping me to identify genetic underpinnings of diabetes, and complications like heart disease and kidney failure. Ultimately, this research will help us develop new ways to treat people coping with these life-threatening health issues — touching the lives of so many men, women and children here and around the world.

Charitable gift annuity — A gift of cash or property can provide lifetime income to you or a designated loved one, while earning a current income tax deduction. Charitable remainder trust — An irrevocable gift of appreciated assets pays income to you and your beneficiaries and allows you to reduce your taxable estate. Retained life estate — Give full or partial interest in your home while residing in it for as long as you choose, lower your taxable estate and enjoy a current tax deduction. Retirement plan — Name City of Hope as the beneficiary of your retirement account and reduce your taxable estate. A longtime supporter of City of Hope through United Stationers and the annual National Business Products Industry fundraising initiative, Jeff Howard, along with his wife Sarah and their two children Lindsay and Tyler, wanted a way to continue that support on a personal level. Estate planning and leading the Business Products Industry Estate Giving Challenge effort was a perfect fit for them. “Our commitment to give back Sarah, Jeff, Lindsay and Tyler Howard and help others has always been a family affair. The decision we made to include City of Hope in our estate plans — and help fund research that will save lives in the future — might actually impact the lives of our kids and grandkids. It doesn’t have to be a large gift. Everything and every little bit helps — and if everyone does something, it can really add up.” THe Mission of HOpe Dear Friends, For 32 consecutive years, City of Hope has enjoyed the loyal support of executives and companies from the business products industry, to date raising more than $130 million.

It has been and continues to be our sincere privelege to work with you in our mutual quest to provide lifesaving funds for research, treatment and education at City of Hope.
