2009 Pledge
Drive for the
University of Chicago
Cancer Research Foundation
(UCCRF)
This year DMAD will hold its first pledge drive to benefit
The University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation.
The University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation (UCCRF)
is a private, not-for-profit organization that seeks funds
to
underwrite basic and clinical research programs on the causes,
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer at the
University of Chicago Cancer Research Center.
As the UCCRF
President Ruth Ann McGuinnis explained,
the Foundation's members "are investors in innovation.
We provide the Center with funding that has a special value
because it supports the preliminary research required
to obtain financing from other sources.
In a sense, we raise the venture capital that gives scientists
and
clinicians the freedom to boldly pursue their most promising
insights.
By leveraging our contributions, the Center is able to create pioneering
therapies and bring their enormous benefits to patients and communities."
We see the impacts of contributions to the Foundation
at work throughout the University.
The combined
power these donations—large and small—has
enabled the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment,
enhanced hospital and laboratory facilities,
funded fellowships for young scientists, and generated innovative
research by many of our most distinguished researchers.
These scientists rely on this essential support because it provides
them
with the freedom necessary to pursue their most visionary
investigations
and explore new frontiers in cancer research. We
hope our fellow divers will join us in helping this worthwhile
foundation
which provides invaluable services to cancer patients and their
families.
