Our Work

Fighting Childhood Cancer

We have done it before!

LCIF funded a $100,000 matching grant to help us purchase a Flow Cytometer which will be placed at Wisconsin Children's Hospital.

​

YES - We did it!

 

The Lions of Wisconsin were asked to raise the remaining $100,000 to make this a reality. As many clubs are searching for a way to impact childhood cancer, the timing couldn’t be better.

​

Since this began, we have added a second Flow Cytometer to the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison.

​

Here are three news stories from Madison TV stations celebrating the placement of the second unit in the state.

​

Channel 15      Spectrum News 1      Chanel 3000

​

And in late 2020 we began working on a third grant for a unit in Marshfield.

Clicking on the Marshfield Clinic presentation will download a PowerPoint Show to your hard drive, most likely to the Downloads Folder.
