Campaign 2011 - Kansas Masons Continue Support for KU Cancer Center |
|
Last year Kansas Masons through the Kansas Masonic Foundation completed our $15 million pledge to the Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute. In total we have given more than $20 million to the KU Cancer Center since we started our support in 1974. KU has relied on Masons, and Masons have more than exceeded their expectations.
But we didn’t spend much time celebrating because we realized we had more work to do. Our recent gifts have been instrumental to the University of Kansas Cancer Center as they make application to become a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. It has been a long, tough, and expensive journey but we will ultimately see a dream come to reality when they make application on September 25, 2011.
