My Giving Helps: Giving Back to Mass General – Fall 2022
A Message from Our 2022 Co-Chairs,
Debbie Burke, RN, DNP, and David Louis, MD
Dear Colleagues,
Our September Campaign was a huge success because of you!
Thank you to all Mass General employees who supported My Giving Helps: The MGH Fund + United Way employee campaign last month. Due to the outpouring of support and generosity, to date we have received gifts in support of My Giving Helps from over 4,100 employees. This is incredible and reaffirms the sentiment that the employees of Mass General are truly one of a kind. On behalf of all the patients and families whose lives continue to be touched by your daily efforts, thank you for all that you do.
There’s still time to support the MGH Fund and/or United Way through either a payroll deduction or one-time donation if you haven’t yet. To make your gift in support of My Giving Helps: The MGH Fund + United Way employee campaign please visit our website here.

MGH Fund Virtual Lecture: The Future of Cancer Therapy at Mass General
With its focus on innovative clinical trials, the Henri and Belinda Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies is committed to offering its patients the best and most advanced cancer treatments available. Held on October 20, 2022, the MGH Fund Virtual Lecture: The Future of Cancer Therapy at Mass General, featured Dejan Juric, MD, Director of the Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies, Program Director of the Investigational Cancer Therapeutics Program at the Mass General Cancer Center and Physician in Medicine (Hematology/Oncology); and Casandra S. McIntyre, RN, MTS, Nurse Director of the Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies. Through their special presentation guests learned more about the discovery and delivery of new targeted therapies available to patients with early and advanced staged cancers, and how Mass General’s new building will help to shape the future of cancer care in the region.
This annual event was made available to our most loyal MGH Fund donors, and members of the hospital’s Phillips Society.

Mass General Legacy Challenge
Did you know that you could have an impact on medicine today and invest in the health of future generations without writing a check? The Mass General Legacy Challenge is a special initiative designed to raise the visibility of future gifts as a way to support the hospital now and over the long term. Every time Mass General is notified that a donor has named the hospital as a beneficiary in their will, trust or other account, a matching gift to the MGH Fund will immediately be made!
