Philanthropy as a route to healing
On the last stroke of midnight before the dawn of the next decade, The Campaign for Mayo Clinic exceeded a historic milestone by raising $1.35 billion, which far surpassed the original goal of $1.25 billion. More than 286,000 people donated to this cause — people from all 50 states and 79 countries who became personal stakeholders in the future of medicine at Mayo Clinic.
Mayo began this incredible campaign five years ago in 2004. Because donors like you have joined us in transforming medicine for our children's grandchildren, we can continue the fight to win what everyone needs — breakthrough cures and pioneering treatments to relieve suffering and improve people's lives.
United, we have made history for Mayo Clinic. Now, the race has been pushed forward to a new starting line. We will set even higher goals. We look forward to our continued journey together.
