Supporters Assure Center’s Future
Who wouldn’t benefit from a few good friends? That’s why the Keck School of
Medicine of USC recently established the Westside Center Associates—a group dedicated
to supporting the USC Westside Center for Diabetes.
The Westside Center Associates is a select philanthropic group for contributors
who wish to ensure that the center will continue its mission of diabetes care, research and
education.
When supporters become Westside Center Associates, they help provide seed money
to fund new research that may lead to future treatments. They also help expand current
research projects and speed results to the clinic. Financial support also funds fellowships
for today’s leading physicians and researchers as well as training for tomorrow’s professionals.
Associates also contribute to new equipment that is needed for advanced research and
treatment.
Membership also offers other benefits. Associates get VIP access and referral service
at the Westside Center and throughout the practices of the Keck School of Medicine of
USC. Associates are recognized on the center’s lobby wall and receive invitations to lectures,
meetings and other events.
Membership also offers the opportunity to build an endowment that will provide
lasting support for diabetes research and care at the Westside Center.
Associate membership is offered at the $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and
$100,000 levels, with pledges payable over five years or less. Contributions may be made in
a number of ways, including gifts of stocks, personal property or real estate. They may be
made outright or through a bequest or trust. Gifts can even provide lifelong income for the
donor, along with the many benefits of Associate membership.
For more information about such Westside Center Associate membership, please
call the Office of Development at (323) 442-1700.
