30+ years ago, an incredibly loyal and creative group of Massey donors created something extraordinary.
Massey Club is VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center’s leadership annual giving society, which recognizes donors who make annual cumulative unrestricted gifts totaling $1,000 or more. Massey Club donors lead by example to fuel innovation, shape the future of cancer research and, ultimately, save lives. A future without cancer starts with Massey Club. A future without cancer starts with you.
“We, as an NCI-designated center of excellence, can save lives. We can offer better treatment. Massey Club funding helps make that all possible.” - Becky Massey
Massey Club Impact
Thanks, in part, to the generosity of Massey Club donors, Massey is achieving its goal to be a premier community-focused cancer center and a national leader in cancer health equity research. Read more about the Massey Club and its impact during the most recent fiscal year.
“Massey Club, truly, was founded on the shoulders of giants.” - Becky Massey.
These giants include VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center directors (from left to right): I. David Goldman, M.D., Robert A. Winn, M.D., Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., and the late Walter Lawrence, M.D.
“The last 30 years have been transformational. Unrestricted funding, which is what the Massey Club raises, is critical. Grants [can] take years. Having that flexibility to move things ahead faster, to realize an important advance that might otherwise be lost.” – Gordon Ginder, M.D., former VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center director
