The reason to give is simple: to make change happen. Our donors give students an avenue to success. They give a researcher a path to a breakthrough. Every gift fuels UAB as it takes steps to change the world.
Immediate Impact
Richard Cashio knows a good investment when he sees one. An organizing director and board member for ServisFirst Bank who also has run two successful businesses in the steel industry, Cashio was interested in partnering with UAB, his alma mater, to help a new generation of students.
Care for the Caregivers
Many physicians experience work-related burnout, but it's a problem that may have solutions. Birmingham-based ProAssurance Corporation established a faculty position in the UAB School of Medicine that will investigate and promote physician wellness.
A Musical Legacy
Music and the arts always played a central role in the lives of Bill and Joan Edmonds. Thanks to their generosity and support of the Alys Stephens Center, their love of the arts will continue to enrich lives in central Alabama for years to come.
Learning That Leaps Boundaries
Shannon Blanton, inaugural dean of the UAB Honors College, pursued a Ph.D. in international studies in part because of a study-abroad trip to western Europe that she took in high school.
Lighting the Way to a Brighter Future
On his 49th birthday, Dwayne Chatoney was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. He received treatment at a hospital near his home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. But nine months later, the cancer returned, this time at stage 4. And this time, the hospital told him there was nothing they could do.
The Confidence to Succeed
Donna Andrews remembers the day she met a shy Racquel McCrary. Then a UAB freshman, McCrary was lingering outside the Spencer Honors House, home to the University Honors Program (UHP), following a meeting for students interested in joining the program, which is part of the UAB Honors College.
