The Center’s fourth year was marked by unprecedented grass-roots and celebrity fund raising. Dependent on private donations, the Center celebrates generous donors like these.
One of the largest grass-roots efforts came
from a group of teens at Long Island’s Northport High. They raised $32,000
through sporting events to honor beloved science teacher David Deutsch, diagnosed
with ALS last winter.
A March Packard Center reception honoring Laurie Russell, who died last June,
included a tour of the Center’s labs. Here, researcher Valina Dawson
shows off the new ultrahigh technology confocal microscope, purchased with
funds Russell and her family and friends helped raise.
Former Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer donated his talents as emcee at Baltimore's
Meyerhoff Symphony Hall last June, introducing guest singer Tony Bennett.
The event raised $250,000 for ALS research.
