Acknowledgements

A Community Effort

This acknowledgement page salutes all of our generous donors. It is an honor roll of motivated people who have stepped up to make a difference in our approach to this disease. We believe that the sponsorship and seed-money support of carefully selected research projects can accelerate the development of new, low toxicity therapies for CLL.

Tell Us How

If you would like your gift to be acknowledged in honor of, in memory of or with thanks to another person, please include a note containing his or her name and address along with your  check. We will be happy to reflect both the donor and the honoree on this page. If, however, you would like your gift to be anonymous, please say so in your note and we will honor your wishes.

Where We Are

Since the Donation page went live, CLL Topics has received a total of $170,155.27 from 471 donors plus a $2,000 honorarium sent directly to Mayo Clinic.

We have committed to funding three separate clinical trials thus far:
(1) Green tea extract EGCG at the Mayo Clinic, MN;
(2) Low dose subcutaneous Rituxan study at University of Virginia and
(3) Imiquimod as adjuvant and immune booster to improve annual flu vaccinations at Royal Bournemouth Hospital, UK.

Here is a link to the details about each of these CLL Topics sponsored clinical trials. Your generous donations will help us continue to offer critical “seed money” to get important investigations such as these in the future. The involvement of the patient community in sponsoring and funding clinical trials is important since it reflects our priorities and our ‘ownership’ of the process.
