Fundraising Goals
The short-term fundraising goal is $5,000,000. The founder of Forward Lymphoma, Ron Skoronski, started the fund with a personal donation of $1,000,000. As a lymphoma patient at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center, Ron's donation has ensured that important research can begin immediately.
Your contribution will also enhance scientific research to focus on lymphoma biology and drug development. The construction of the Interdisciplinary Research Complex provides an opportunity to shape the future of lymphoma research. Specifically, your contribution will provide the following to help find cures and advance treatments:
- Advance the University of Wisconsin Hematology infrastructure to include a clinical trials office for two researchers to expedite clinical research.
- Two research projects that have already been funded and three additional projects have been proposed and are under scientific review.
- Continuing to recruit world-class doctors and researchers to focus on translational approaches to study lymphoma.
- Complete three laboratories at the University of Wisconsin designated for lymphoma research.
- Recruit and staff additional scientist positions at the Medical School to provide continued lymphoma investigation.
Forward Lymphoma works with both individual and corporate donors to establish funds that help find cures and advance treatments. For every dollar contributed to Forward Lymphoma, 100% of that dollar will go toward advancing Lymphoma research programs that will help create a more advanced treatment schedule for patients and identify cures for this disease.
