Saurage Family Supports Newly Established Lectures Series in Medical Physics

Laurie and Hank Saurage are focused on advancing cancer care through investing in their two passions: education and research. As a philanthropist and business leader in the community, Mr. Saurage has served on the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center Board of Directors since 2015 and served in many leadership roles over the years. He is a true leader, supporter and ambassador for Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center’s mission.

His dedication and commitment to continue his family legacy to lead and secure the future of cancer is evident through his most recent gift. Mr. Saurage made a gift of appreciated securities to maximize his impact as the stock market is near all-time highs, providing a meaningful gift and helping to ensure the advancement of the Dr. Charles M. Smith Medical Physics Program for years to come.

His gift will support a newly developed, annual Lecture Series in Medical Physics providing faculty and students the critical opportunity to collaborate, innovate and lead in the fight against cancer. Gifts like the Saurages’ provide essential support the medical physics program needs to remain its position as a leader in medical physics training and research.
