Definitions for "Benefactors"
Formed by Nancy and Carroll O'Connor in 1978, the Benefactors is the Institute's giving program. Benefactors are donors who pledge or make a gift of $1,500 or more annually to the John Wayne Cancer Institute. Three hundred philanthropists are members of this dedicated group. They are honored each December at a black-tie dinner, and their names are displayed on the Donor Wall located in the lobby of the John Wayne Cancer Institute Research Building.
