The gift splits $10 million for research in England and $2.5 million for a Cleveland cancer center to advance CLL treatment and care.
- On Wednesday, Cleveland Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam announced a $12.5 million donation to fund research and drug development for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other rare blood cancers.
- Dee Haslam, who was diagnosed with CLL five years ago, stated, "I am extremely grateful that I am living a full, healthy life after being diagnosed with CLL in 2021." The personal experience motivated the investment.
- The donation allocates $10 million to the Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre in England for drug development, while the remaining $2.5 million establishes an endowed chair and innovation fund at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center.
- Former U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, chair of the Oxford-Harrington advisory council, said, "Rare diseases represent one of the greatest areas of unmet medical need worldwide," emphasizing international collaboration's importance.
- This contribution builds on a 2023 $20 million leadership commitment by the Haslams to University Hospitals, which funded the UH Haslam Sports Innovation Center to improve athlete performance and healing.
