| NEWS & PUBLICATIONS NFL Report , Spring Issue, 2005: Ralph Wilson Saluted By Cleveland Clinic. Wilson's Cancer Research Donations Hit $5 Million Mark Fall Issue, 2004
"I have always thought that, when possible, everyone in life should try to make a contribution to benefit others, and I am hoping our medical foundation can achieve that goal now and in the future," says Wilson. Dr. Young-Mee Park, Ph.D. of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute recently was awarded a substantial multi-year grant from the National Cancer Institute to carry on her novel approach to the treatment of lung cancer. Dr. Park credits the Wilson Foundation with enabling the research that led to her preliminary findings. Also, researchers at the Mayo Clinic recently disclosed an unusual way to fight cancer by triggering an immune system response that has shown a consistently strong, and often curative, treatment effect for malignant melanoma. The Mayo Clinic credits the support of the Wilson Foundation with making this discovery possible. Ralph Wilson's deep personal commitment to philanthropy is a main reason he was named as the Seymour Knox III Humanitarian Award winner last spring. The Ronald McDonald House, the United Way, S.P.C.A, and the food banks of Buffalo and Rochester, New York are a few of the organizations that have benefited from his generosity. |
