Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center
Fulfilling a Shared Vision:
Eagles To Present First $5 Million Donation to the Diabetes Research Center
*Commited Dollars =
Dollars Recieved + Uncollected Pledged Dollars
One year after making a historic five-year, $25 million pledge to establish The
Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center at the University of Iowa, the
Eagles have reached the first milestone.
Dennis Gilhousen and Bettie Williams Clark, Co-Chairs of the Diabetes Research Center,
Jim Roberts, Chairman of the Board and Bill Loffer, Membership Director, will present
the first $5 million installment in a pre-game ceremony at the Hawkeyes football
game with Arkansas State University on Saturday, October 3.
“I am so proud of our members for their hard work in reaching this exciting milestone,”
said Lagervall. “However, our work has only just begun. I encourage all Eagles members
to continue their remarkable fundraising efforts.”
University of Iowa (UI) Foundation and UI leaders, including UI President Sally
Mason will accept the gift on the 50-yard line at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
To reach this first goal Eagles members throughout the US and Canada have held various
fundraisers such as poker runs, benefit concerts and tournaments.
The Eagles $25 million commitment will be used to recruit and support the work of
the best diabetes researchers, and to fund research programs that will bring experts
from several fields together to seek a cure for diabetes.
