With the success of the 2023 UMC Health System Gala, UMC announced it has now raised $22.8 million toward its fundraising goal of $25 million.
Funds raised will go toward a brand-new center, serving as a true destination cancer center close to home, providing disease-specific clinical excellence for patients and families throughout our vast region.
Scheduled for completion in 2025, the new UMC TLC2 Foundation Cancer Center will provide:
>> Increased clinical, treatment, and therapeutic space.
>> World-class clinical settings to promote physician recruitment.
>> Increased clinical trials across multiple centers of excellence.
>> Dedicated in-house TTUHSC research space.
“We are very grateful to everyone who made the 2023 Gala a success,” Britt Pharris, UMC Vice-President and Chief Philanthropy Officer, stated in the press release. “The positive response throughout the community and region has been outstanding but we still need support to achieve our goal.”
