Donors play a great role in the success of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. Behind each contribution, there lies a story - a family, a business, a neighbor, a patient - people creating connections to make a difference in the lives of others.

Following the inspiring leadership of Ann and Robert H. Lurie, these philanthropic partners, and others like them, have made a commitment to join in the battle against cancer. Take a moment to read their stories.
