$2 BILLION FOR BETTER HEALTH
In June 2015, OHSU achieved a fundraising feat, raising $1 billion for cancer research through the Knight Cancer Challenge and launching a new era in early cancer detection and treatment. But the effort to transform human health didn’t stop there.
In October of that year, the OHSU Foundation launched the second phase of its philanthropic campaign known as ONWARD with another ambitious goal: to raise an additional $1 billon before the end of 2020 to benefit multiple areas across OHSU.
Thanks to the support of more than 50,000 donors, OHSU once again surpassed its goal: more than $2 billion raised over the course of seven years, all to benefit the wellness of people across Oregon and beyond.
