Mike and Maureen Gretschel with Translation Award - Jan. 24, 2018

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF OUR CYCLE OF DISCOVERY AWARD RECIPIENTS

Awards from the DRI Foundation’s Cycle of Discovery series are presented throughout the year and at special events to donors who have made a major gift. The award program corresponds with the Foundatin’s cumulative giving designations below.

Designed to acknowledge our generous donors, each piece in the award sequence is an artistic representation of the endless questioning, the complex investigation, the perpetuation of thought and the significant accomplishments made by DRI scientists who are committed to finding a cure as quickly as possible.

In addition to receiving the award, individuals who have reached these giving levels are permanently recognized within the Diabetes Research Institute on its distinctive walls of honor. Donors to the DRI Foundation at the Founders level and above are also recognized by the University of Miami.
