40 2015 Report to Our Donors
F ifty-five years ago at the Ontario Cancer Institute
(now Princess Margaret Cancer Centre), two
researchers—a biophysicist and a physician focused on
leukemia and normal blood formation—joined forces.
The result: Drs. James Till and Ernest McCulloch are
recognized today as the Fathers of Stem Cell Science.
They are an early example of why Princess Margaret
Cancer Centre is one of the top 5 cancer research
centres in the world: multi-disciplinary collaboration.
For a disease as complex as cancer, the ability to bring
experts in different fields together to solve a problem
or prove a theory is essential. Equally essential is the
continuing support of ‘multi’ sources of philanthropy—
individuals, families, foundations and corporations.
This year, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation
created the Till & McCulloch Society to recognize
supporters who have cumulatively donated
$1 million or more to fuel cancer research at The
Princess Margaret. We are grateful to all of the
individuals, families and organizations listed below
for their vision and their passion to help conquer
cancer in our lifetime.
To honour their tremendous support, members of
the Till & McCulloch Society have the opportunity to
attend exclusive events with cancer centre leadership,
and they are the first to receive important updates and
information.
For more information about the Society, please contact
