Tastemakers

About

Nomination Form

Tastemakers are a distinguished group of fifteen Southeast Michigan young professional leaders who have been nominated by their peers or mentors. They want to influence their community and make an impact in the fight to end cancer as we know it, for everyone by raising a minimum of $2,500. Tastemakers serve as an extension of the American Cancer Society to advocate for its mission to impact every cancer and every life.

All Tastemakers will receive recognition for their efforts at The Taste of Hope Detroit and the top fundraiser will receive the ‘Tastemaker of the Year’ award at the event for their outstanding contributions to the fight against cancer.

If you would like to nominate someone please click the nomination form. If you have additional questions please email Autumn Macey at [email protected].
