Support Cancer Research by Sponsoring a Scientist.“Adopting” a scientist through a Sponsored Award gives youthe opportunity to make a direct and significant investmentin a scientist and his or her ideas.
You can sponsor the Fellow of your choice, and sponsorships are available for the full three years of the award or foreach year individually.
To leave a lasting legacy, some donors have funded an award in perpetuity. In that instance, a new scientist will be designated in your name every three years.
Sponsors also have the opportunity to name the Sponsored Award in recognition of their gift or in honor of someone (for example, the “Doe Family Fellow”).
The impact of a Sponsored Award is felt far beyond its tenure – by the scientists themselves, and by all of us who will benefit from their work.
To learn more about sponsoring a scientist, please call Kim Roberts at 203-785-4612 or email jccfund@yale.edu.
IN MEMORY OR IN HONOR DONATIONS
You can dedicate your gift In Honor of a cancer survivor or someone whose life has been affected by the disease. In Honor gifts are also a thoughtful and rewarding way to celebrate important events such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries.
In Memory donations allow you to offer meaningful condolences and make a direct impact on the disease that took someone special from you.
