Radio’s Robin Quivers to host leukemia foundation event

Cancer survivor Robin Quivers will host The TJ Martell Foundation for Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS Research’s Women of Influence Awards, held this year May 1 at the Essex House (Central Park South).

Quivers — better known as Howard Stern’s sidekick on his Sirius/XM radio show — was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and, last year, was declared cancer-free after being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering. This year’s shindig will honor NBC’s Hoda Kotb and Radio One founder/chairperson Cathy Hughes, among others, and will feature a performance by Jetta (“Start a Riot”).
