Hoda Kotb

In 2010, as part of the fourth Oncology On CanvasSM Art Competition and Exhibition, Lilly Oncology and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) created the Ellen Stovall Award, in honor of Ellen Stovall, a tireless advocate for cancer survivors and former president and CEO of NCCS. The award recognizes those who use their art and/or celebrity to be, like Ms. Stovall, “a true champion and advocate for cancer survivorship.” The first recipient was Katie Couric, former CBS Evening News anchor and current host of Katie. The 2012 recipient is Hoda Kotb, co-host of Today with Kathie Lee & Hoda and, since 1998, a correspondent for NBC’s Dateline. She is also a cancer survivor and advocate.
