For generations, North Texas has been defined by its bold visionaries and generous hearts. My family has long called this region home. We have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary power of civic leadership impacting lives, institutions, and progress. The medical community we benefit from today was built by those who came before us. They believed deeply in service, stewardship, and innovation and acted on that belief with courage and conviction. They asked themselves, “Why not the best?”

It is our turn now to build on their foundation with purpose and resolve. From established benefactors to a rising generation of engaged supporters, we are fostering a culture where investment in discovery, clinical care, and medical teaching is not just encouraged but expected.
We see a path in the years to come filled with infinite possibilities. As our region grows rapidly, new challenges and opportunities will come with it. In a time when public resources face increasing demands, philanthropic partnerships remain essential to sustaining progress.
Meeting those needs will require generosity and shared commitment from each of us through our
personal leadership, advocacy, and giving. Our upward trajectory will continue by uniting across generations and bringing together longtime friends and new champions in pursuit of better health care, deeper knowledge, and a stronger tomorrow.
Thank you for stepping up and being part of this effort. Your commitment creates our region’s next chapter of hope. Together, we will carry forward a legacy of purpose—and with it, the promise of all that lies ahead.
Each of us has a unique role to play in creating a better world. Through mindful stewardship, generous contributions, passionate leadership, and meaningful community engagement, we can fuel scientific and medical innovation to serve the people in our developing region. Together, we have the power to shape what comes next.
