2012 Annual GCRF Grant Presentation Breakfast

Posted on by

On May 16h, the GIST Cancer Research Fund presented a generous donation in the amount of $120,000 to the Heinrich-Corless Research Lab at the Annual GCRF Grant Presentation Breakfast at OHSU. This extraordinary gift is the result of the endless fundraising efforts of the GCRF and oustanding donations to their organization.
Without this support, we would not be able to continue our research to help find
a cure for this terrible disease.

2011 GCRF Walk For A Cure

Posted on by

This is a bit overdue, but we wanted to recognize the awesome fundraising efforts of the GIST Cancer Research Fund, as Diana Griffith represented our lab for their annual Walk For A Cure in San Jose last fall.  Without the generous support of GCRF donations from multiple fundraising Walks and other outstanding efforts, we would not be able to continue to research this horrible disease.  Many thanks to Diana, who did an amazing job documenting the walk, supporting the cause, and speaking on behalf of the lab at this event.
