Honor Someone Special With a Gift in Their Name
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by cancer or feels passionately about our mission to #EndCancer, making a memorial or tribute gift to MD Anderson is a meaningful way to honor them or celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday, while furthering our lifesaving work. Your memorial or tribute gift will extend your loved one’s impact or legacy, and it will help drive better outcomes for others.
Forever friends: a lasting gift
Mary Leahy Farnan
When Mary Leahy Farnan learned that her best friend, Janet Craig, had ovarian cancer, she couldn’t stop crying. Janet immediately turned to MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she participated in several clinical trials — and lived another 3½ years.
During her cancer journey, Janet established the Janet Craig Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research. Mary and her husband, Jim, have donated to it ever since. They have even included the fund in their estate plan.
“For Janet to set up this fund for research shows you what type of person she was. It’s something to keep her memory alive, and hopefully other people won’t have to suffer,” Mary says.
