Together we embarked on an unprecedented undertaking, and now we have achieved a historic accomplishment, raising $1.35 billion to benefit patients, medicine and society. Even in rough economic times, you demonstrated belief and trust in all that Mayo Clinic means for today's world. Thank you for your support.
Because of you we can extend our reach even further.
This achievement sets a new threshold for philanthropy, which will continue to be essential to Mayo's not-for-profit mission. Ongoing support will bring to fruition Mayo's transformative vision for the future. Mayo will continue to move forward with innovation and unparalleled leadership, thanks to your belief, passion and gifts that enable us to relieve suffering and decrease the burdens of illness. See the difference you've made.
