U-M Regent Ron 
Weiser Makes $25M 
Gift to University 

University of Michigan Regent 
Ron Weiser made a $25 million 
gift to the university to establish 
the Weiser Family Center for 
Breast Cancer. 
Weiser and his family have 
committed more than $200 
million to U-M over the years.
The gift includes a $5 million 
matching gift to encourage 
additional gifts to the center, 
which will be housed within 
the UM Health Rogel Cancer 
Center in Ann Arbor.
The funding will assist 
in improving treatment 
experiences through the 
creation of programs to support 
patients and their families, as 
well as expanding opportunities 
for education and research 
around breast cancer 
“The Weiser Charitable 
Foundation is proud to make 
this transformational gift to 
improve outcomes in all aspects 
of breast cancer prevention, 
treatment and survivorship, and 
offer hope to those who need 
it most,” Weiser, a real estate 
investor and president of the 
Weiser Family Foundation, said 
in a news release. 
“We are honored to assist 
in establishing a center that 
will provide expanded care 
throughout patients’ breast 
cancer journeys by building new 
programs, testing innovative 
ideas and transforming the 
patient experience for breast 
cancer patients.” 
The gift “will speed new 
discoveries, open new insights 
and strengthen Michigan 
Medicine’s place as one of 
the nation’s leading medical 
centers,” President Santa Ono 
said in announcing the gift 
during a U-M board of regents 
meeting.
