ore than 200 people turned out to show their
appreciation for A. Alfred Taubman on June 9 in
Ann Arbor at a special celebration of his latest gift
to the University of Michigan — $56 million to the Taubman
Institute, which he established at the U-M Medical School to
find new treatments and cures for a wide range of diseases.
This gift brought his total commitment to the Taubman
Institute to $100 million and his total contributions to U-M
to nearly $142 million, which makes him the largest donor in
the history of the university.
In tribute, U-M renamed one of its most state-of-the-
art medical research facilities the A. Alfred Taubman
Biomedical Science Research Building, which is where the
gala took place. President Mary Sue Coleman and Executive
Vice President for Medical Affairs Ora Pescovitz applauded
Taubman for his passionate commitment to stem-cell
research and other innovative approaches to medical science
and their potential to end the plight of millions of people suf-
fering from disease.
Guests also enjoyed a video, produced by Evolution Media,
tracing the history, accomplishments and visionary leader-
ship of Taubman, told in the words of his family, friends and
the physician-scientists at U-M.
"As far as I'm concerned;' Taubman said in his remarks,
"tonight is all about the doctors and their teams of investiga-
tors and scientists who are defeating disease and creating
hope within these walls.
"Hail to you, the Victors! It is in your name that I accept
this kind recognition." ri
