“We’re grateful to these business and community leaders from across the nation for not only their efforts to secure philanthropic contributions to the institution, but also for their personal gifts of time, resources and talents,” said Ronald DePinho, M.D., president of MD Anderson. “Their generosity is crucial in advancing the institution’s cancer research and patient care initiatives. Certainly the BOV’s support will have a significant role in achieving our goals to drastically reduce cancer mortality through the recently announced Moon Shots Program.”
