<p>UVA GIVEN $45 MILLION DONATION/ GIFT AMONG LARGEST IN UNIVERSITY’S HISTORY
By Melanie Mayhew of The (Charlottesville) Daily Progress
The University of Virginia Health System on Monday announced a $45 million gift, the university’s largest-ever donation earmarked specifically for medical research and clinical applications. The gift from the Ivy Foundation of Charlottesville is one of the largest contributions in university history. It will fund the expansion of laboratory space for biomedical research and support the translation of new discoveries into treatments and cures. The gift also will back new facilities for clinical research and patient care in the areas of cancer and children’s health. … The Ivy Foundation … is chaired by William C. Battle, an alumnus of UVa’s College of Arts & Sciences (1941) and School of Law (1947) [also, former chairman and CEO of Fieldcrest Mills, member of the UVa Board of Visitors from 1976 to 1980 and chairman of the university’s first comprehensive capital campaign]. … Before the $45 million gift, the Ivy Foundation, which was set up to benefit the university, had endowed professorships in pediatrics and fellowships for researchers in the basic medical sciences, among other areas.
