About This Event

Thank you for joining the 2024 Impact Circle!

The Impact Circle provides a “behind the scenes” view of Buck science for a unique and engaging experience for participating donors. It is an exciting opportunity to meet with brilliant scientists and get immersed in the cutting-edge research underway at the Institute. Members will be presented with pitches from a few labs for “Blue Sky” projects that require seed funding to get off the ground.  Typically, these are projects that are at too early a stage to qualify for a government grant. Scientists, incentivized by this support, dig deep for their most novel and innovative idea, gathering their lab members to distill the science behind those ideas into accessible and exciting projects for Impact Circle Members.

Membership in the Impact Circle is an exciting way to explore and discover right alongside Buck scientists. With your $5,000 contribution, you are a voting member to determine the project to receive funding. Members will be given updates as the project progresses and will be invited back to hear directly from the scientists about the impact your gift has made.  

We look forward to having you on this exciting adventure in science and help make an impact on our health!
