Our Next Big Thing
August 19, 2022
We are thrilled to announce our latest gift to the University of Texas and Anderson Cancer Center. Through this most recent commitment and investment in the future, Project Periwinkle is continuing to shape research and contribute to innovation and success that is shaping a better world for those touched by cancer.
We are excited to support and seed fund a two year study at MD Anderson with a Phase I gift of $40,000, aimed at better predicting tumor behavior and response, and to inform more personalized treatment plans for improved outcomes for gastric cancer patients.
Throughout our history, we have been committed to partnering with, supporting, and empowering others who share our values and commitments to cancer research, and those who are change leaders, innovators, and dreamers who keep pressing forward for better. This gift to MD Anderson supports the work of those who have a proven track record and who are paving the way for better outcomes, a brighter world and a future without cancer.
As we look ahead to what is to come from this study, we are eager to see it’s results, it’s impact, and the foundation it will built for future phases.
A huge thank you to those who have made this moment possible! The momentum we continue to build with stomach cancer research is amazing!
