Supporting the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research – Legacy Fund

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Safar Center for Resuscitation Research (SCRR). Your generosity provides vital resources to train the next generation of physicians and scientists, to advance the boundaries of medical research, enhance care, and optimize the outcomes of critically ill patients. Our vision is based on the pioneering spirit of the late Dr. Peter Safar, “to save hearts and brains too good to die.”

Honorary or Memorial Gifts

A gift made in honor or memory of an individual is a thoughtful way to recognize the accomplishments of or remember a loved one, friend, or colleague. Our online gift form conveniently allows you to indicate who your gift will honor or memorialize.

Gift Matching

Many corporations will match an employee’s personal donations. This additional support can double or even triple the value of your gift. Contact the Human Resources department at your workplace to get more information on the options they offer.
