Registration starts at 2:45 p.m., and the program is from 3-4:30.

It was made possible by a $2.5 million contribu- tion from the late Joseph Dresner, who passed away earlier this year. Dresner was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in 2002 and was treated by his physician Charles A. Schiffer, M.D., leader of the Malignant Hematology Multidisciplinary Team at Karmanos. To show his gratitude, he made his donation in May 2010 to honor his doctor. "From the first time my dad met Dr. Schiffer about 10 years ago:' said Lori Dresner, "he was so impressed — not only because of Dr. Schiffer's expertise, but also for his warmth and genuine caring demeanor. They just seemed to connect. "Shortly before my dad passed away, he was able to tour this clinic while it was under construction. Being a build- er, dad could envision what the clinic would look like long before there were defined spaces. He was so weak at the time, but touring this clinic gave him a spark. He was so excited to see this take shape, knowing his gift would impact patients for years to come' F.
