THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS BLOOD CANCER RESEARCH IN BOTH THE CLINIC AND LAB. IN 2014, THE FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED THE MARIO LEMIEUX CENTER LYMPHOMA CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PITTSBURGH OF UPMC. THIS CENTER, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND, TREATS PATIENTS WITH DIFFICULT-TO-TREAT AND RARE CHILDHOOD LYMPHOMAS. THE CENTER HAS INCREASED ACCESS TO CARE AND CUTTING-EDGE TREATMENTS FOR ALL CHILDHOOD LYMPHOMAS, WHILE ALSO BRINGING TOGETHER A CRITICAL VOLUME OF PATIENTS WITH RARE LYMPHOMAS FOR RESEARCH STUDIES THAT CAN HAVE A GLOBAL IMPACT ON CARE. THE ANNUAL COMMITMENT TO THIS $2.5M PROJECT IS $357,000. THE FOUNDATION ALSO SUPPORTS HODGKIN'S DISEASE RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE BY PROVIDING FUNDING TO THE MARIO LEMIEUX CENTER FOR BLOOD CANCERS, LOCATED AT THE UPMC HILLMAN CANCER CENTER. IN NOVEMBER 2018, THE MARIO LEMIEUX FOUNDATION PLEDGED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THE UPMC HILLMAN CANCER CENTER IN A $5M GIFT FOR GROUNDBREAKING IMMUNOTHERAPY RESEARCH AND TREATMENT. THE MARIO LEMIEUX IMMUNOTHERAPY CENTER WILL EXPAND AND ENHANCE INNOVATIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY TREATMENTS FOR PATIENTS WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF SOLID TUMORS, BOTH THROUGH RESEARCH AND PERSONALIZED PATIENT CARE.
IN SEPTEMBER 2019, THE MARIO LEMIEUX FOUNDATION MADE A $1M GIFT, WITH MATCHING FUNDS FROM HIGHMARK HEALTH, TO ESTABLISH THE MARIO LEMIEUX RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FUND AT ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK'S CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE'S DIVISION OF CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY. THIS $2M INVESTMENT WILL SUPPORT MEDICAL RESEARCH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE THERAPIES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR HEART RHYTHM DISORDERS.
MS. LEMIEUX EXPANDED THE FOUNDATION'S SCOPE IN 2000 WHEN SHE CREATED AUSTIN'S PLAYROOMS FOLLOWING A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHILE CARING FOR HER PREMATURE INFANT SON AT MAGEE-WOMEN'S HOSPITAL. AS SHE AND & MR. LEMIEUX WERE TENDING TO THEIR SON, THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PROVIDE A COMFORTABLE CALMING ENVIRONMENT AND ENGAGE HIS SIBLINGS. IT WAS THEN THAT MS. LEMIEUX DEVISED THIS IDEA TO SOMEDAY RAISE FUNDS FOR PLAYROOMS AT AREA HOSPITALS. SINCE INCEPTION, 38 PLAYROOMS, HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, WITH AN ADDITIONAL FIVE PLANNED. IN THIS FISCAL YEAR, ONE PLAYROOM WAS OPENED (SMALL TOWN HOPE- CAMBRIA COUNTY), AND MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED ON 20 ROOMS.
