Excellence in Research: the 'Louise Thomas Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cancer Research'
Your support is greatly appreciated  

An endowed chair provides unending funding for research. With your help, we can complete the Louise Thomas Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cancer Research at the Steele Center. The endowed chair will be completed at $2 million. The principal is held in perpetuity and will generate approximately $80,000 a year for pediatric cancer research. "Completing the endowed chair will enable our research team to continue making discoveries and developing new treatments," says Emmanuel Katsanis, MD, professor, and Louise Thomas Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cancer Research.

Established in 2005, the endowed chair is currently at $1.1 million.

You can make a difference in the lives of children struggling with cancer by supporting the Louise Thomas Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cancer Research. Thank you!
