Making Discoveries, Finding Cures:
$50 million

Illnesses such as cancer, asthma, and diabetes pose serious threats to the well being of children and require ever more effective treatments. Packard's location at the center of a leading research university is an ideal environment for pediatric discovery, virtually unmatched at other academic medical centers or stand-alone children's hospitals. The integration of Packard Children's with Stanford gives the best minds in pediatrics the opportunity to pursue promising scientific investigations and translate their discoveries quickly into life-saving care for sick children.

Philanthropy that supports research is a crucial form of seed funding, by enabling investigators to launch new initiatives and to establish the initial results needed to pursue longer-term support. As government funding for research becomes scarcer each year, private donor investment will play an increasingly important role in enhancing the level of care available for all children.
