Ways to Help<br />
<strong>Advancing</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Discoveries</strong> through <strong>Science</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Philanthropy</strong><br />
Gifts made to Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation provide vital funding for<br />
nutrition-based research that aims to prevent premature death from chronic diseases<br />
such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, <strong>and</strong> dementia.<br />
ANNUAL FUND FOR EXCELLENCE<br />
Pennington Biomedical Research Center was founded as a result of an extraordinary<br />
philanthropic gift from C. B. “Doc” <strong>and</strong> Irene W. Pennington. Broad-based<br />
philanthropic support from the community is critical to provide unrestricted funding<br />
for the Center’s growth <strong>and</strong> research initiatives. Gifts to the Annual Fund for Excellence<br />
provide seed funding for emerging research <strong>and</strong> help to recruit <strong>and</strong> sustain the Center’s<br />
renowned scientists.<br />

For every $1 of unrestricted support, PBRC can acquire more than $3 in additional<br />
research grants. Therefore, every gift is important.<br />
TRIBUTE GIVING<br />
A gift can be made in memory of a friend or family member, in honor of someone<br />
special, or in recognition of a special occasion. The amount of your gift remains<br />
confidential. An acknowledgement is sent to the person or persons you designate.<br />
SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS<br />
Soaring to <strong>New</strong> Heights is a fundraising event to support the work of PBRC. The event,<br />
held in conjunction with the Pennington Hot Air Balloon Championship, features great<br />
cuisine, hot air balloon glows, fireworks <strong>and</strong> music. Funds are raised through event<br />
sponsorships <strong>and</strong> ticket sales.<br />
NAMING OPPORTUNITIES<br />
PBRF provides giving opportunities that offer donors the ability to have their name, or<br />
the name of someone they would like to honor, associated with a specific laboratory,<br />
equipment, room, or building. Please contact the Pennington Biomedical Research<br />
Foundation for a complete listing of these naming opportunities.<br />
ENDOWED SUPPORT<br />
Endowed Chairs <strong>and</strong> Professorships provide critical annual support in perpetuity,<br />
which allows the Pennington Biomedical Research Center to recruit <strong>and</strong> maintain a<br />
cadre of the world’s finest research scientists. Philanthropic gifts are leveraged through<br />
an attractive matching program with the Louisiana Board of Regents’ Eminent Scholars<br />
Program.<br />
THE LEGACY SOCIETY<br />
Bequests, charitable remainder trusts <strong>and</strong> estate gifts are some examples of gift<br />
planning. Contact us for opportunities that best benefit you as well as PBRF.
