D. Anderson & Company announces its corporate sponsorship of Within Our Reach: Finding a Cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis, a $30 million national campaign created by the American College of Rheumatology Research and Education Foundation. Established in 1985, the ACR Research and Education Foundation is the second-largest funding source for rheumatology research and training in the United States and aims to advance research and training to improve the health of people with rheumatic diseases.
“Having evolved from a niche contract research organization serving the rheumatology sector, DAC has been a longtime advocate of rheumatology education, research and practice support,” said DAC President and CEO Diana Anderson, Ph.D., who is serving a second term on the ACR Research and Education Foundation Development Advisory Council. “We are proud to augment the work of the foundation and have made this our corporate cause for 2010.”
Most notably, DAC provided pro bono logistics and public relations services for the Dallas launch of the Within Our Reach campaign, the foundation’s first and only disease-targeted research initiative. Since its inception in 2006, Within Our Reach has awarded 45 grants totaling $18 million toward innovative research focused on finding a cure for rheumatoid arthritis. The Dallas launch was held February 12, 2010, at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek.
