SAN FRANCISCO—The City of Hope‘s Northern California Real Estate Council has named Ron Zeff, CEO of Carmel Partners, as the 2015 Spirit of Life Award winner. The honor is given to an industry leader who has “demonstrated outstanding business and altruistic achievement,” according to the non-profit.

“Ron has been very active in the philanthropy community for many years, and his company is incredibly generous not only to the City of Hope but to many organizations,” Heather Olinto, VP of the Western Region at City of Hope, tells GlobeSt.com. “Ron has built an amazing company from the ground up, and we try to look at leaders within the real estate community that are not only philanthropic, but who have also made a significant impact within the real estate community. We think that Ron encompasses both of those ideals perfectly.”
