About the Taste of Hope:
Taste of Hope® was founded in 2005 by the American Cancer Society. They created this fundraiser as a way to celebrate New York dining while raising funds to help underwrite the ACS's mission to fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. Between the early 1990s and 2005 they have seen a 15 percent decrease in the overall cancer death rate, which means they have helped to avoid about 650,000 cancer deaths and created the potential for more birthday celebrations.
