The Sprague Award – named for Charles Cameron Sprague, the first President of UT Southwestern Medical Center and former President and CEO of Southwestern Medical Foundation – is our highest community distinction. It was created in 1991 to recognize outstanding philanthropists who have provided significant support to advance health care through contributions of time, leadership and resources.
Stay tuned to learn more about the 2020 awardees of The Sprague Award. They will be honored at a private event hosted by the Foundation on October 15, 2020.
