Every day, scientists at Versiti Blood Research Institute work hard to better understand life-threatening diseases that affect your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues. Philanthropic contributions enable our investigators to explore new avenues of research and develop better, less toxic treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases and more.

Gretchen is a two-time breast cancer survivor who has mobilized her network to donate blood and help other cancer patients in their fight. “As a cancer warrior, I never faced the battle alone,” she says. “Though I can’t donate for a year due to my treatment, I’m more determined than ever to give back in any way possible.”

Your passion means the world to us, and we hope that you’ll continue to engage in our lifesaving mission. Hope is in our blood and with your help, we can continue to make a difference for patients in our communities.
