❮ ❯ Redrock Roadrunners Charities recently donated $100,000 to the UVU College of Science in partnership with the DDx Foundation to help UVU students prepare for successful careers in science and health. Red Rock Roadrunners Charities recently partnered with the DDx Foundation to donate $100,000 to the Utah Valley University College of Science to advance prostate cancer research.
Red Rock Roadrunners Charities recently partnered with the DDx Foundation to donate $100,000 from the 2024 Charity Golf Tournament to the Utah Valley University College of Science to advance prostate cancer research.
The outcome of the research is to create a “biobank” of clinical data that will help doctors in rural areas and those serving underrepresented populations detect prostate cancer early. This information allows us to provide better treatment, leading to improved patient outcomes.
The partnership between UVU and DDx creates mutual benefits by providing advanced laboratory capabilities that support DDx’s basic science efforts and hands-on experiences for UVU students. This not only prepares students for success in the fields of science and health, but also strengthens connections with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and creates valuable research opportunities.
UVU School of Science Dean Daniel Horns said there is no better way for students to develop industry-relevant skills than through hands-on learning in collaboration with industry experts. “We are grateful for the generosity of the Red Rock Roadrunners and DDX’s willingness to partner with UVU,” he said. “These experiences put our students directly into top jobs or into top medical schools after graduation.”
The Red Rock Roadrunners raised funds for research with a charity cup competition during the 2024 Golf Week at Sand Hollow Resort in St. George. Physicians from across the United States, as well as industry and technology representatives, gathered to support these efforts.
The Charity Cup golf tournament features teams sponsored by the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and the NBA’s Utah Jazz, and former athletes and staff from each organization join business, political, and community leaders in a Ryder Cup-style tournament. I played.
“The DDx Foundation is excited to work with UVU to help patients use their data as a lifeline to access the most effective cancer treatments,” said DDx Foundation Executive Director said one Matthew O. Leavitt, MD.
This $100,000 gift reflects UVU and the DDx Foundation’s shared commitment to advancing science, improving patient care, and preparing the next generation of scientists and medical professionals to meet the evolving needs of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. I’m doing it.
