Institutions like OMRF are built on the long-term support of donors whose commitment spans years, decades,
and, in some cases, half-centuries. On our 75th anniversary, we recognize each of our Loyal Donors, those who’ve
been giving to the foundation for at least five consecutive years. Your support ensures our scientists’ life-changing
