Gifts of Note at TMC Health
I am extremely grateful to have identified, cultivated and stewarded these leadership gifts during my tenure at TMC Health.
- George O’Leary. In 2022, George made his inaugural gift to TMC: $500,000 to support nursing scholarships. In 2024, the O’Leary Trust committed to making a $2.5 million gift to the pediatric emergency room.
- Humberto and Czarina Lopez. In 2023, the Lopez family made the largest gift in TMC’s history by funding a $5 million endowment to support cardiac health.
- Jill and Gary Sisson. In 2023, Jill and Gary made a $750,000 gift to the TMC Healing Arts Program to endow a curator position.
- Marlies and Howard Terpning. In 2022, Howard and Marlies made the leadership gift to fund a $1.2 million campus park and amphitheater. The park, which opened in the spring of 2024, was fully donor-funded.
- Angel Charity for Children. In May of 2024, Angel Charity for Children, a beloved Tucson non-profit, made their first gift to TMC Health Foundation: a donation of $65,000 to fund the construction of a sensory room to address the needs of neurodiverse pediatric patients.
