OHSU can now say they have a NINE FIGURE donor. Phil and Penny Knight have pledged a whopping $100 MILLION donation to the OHSU Cancer Institute. The first 2 million will go to name the Linda Conant Laboratory Suite in honor of a close friend of the Knights who died of Breast Cancer this year. The suite is a key component in OHSU’s new Biomedical Research Building. The extra 98 million is up for use however the university sees fit.
The astounding financial gift is the largest in OHSU history. As a thank you, the new facility will be named the OHSU Knight Cancer institute.
