Resources
The Balfour Fund: A Valuable Giving Opportunity for and about Emeriti
This fund was created in conjunction with O & C, the Emeriti staff Executive Committee, and representatives from Education, Development, and our CEO and CAO in Mayo 2018 to provide emeriti staff an opportunity to educate Mayo patients, students, residents, fellows, nurses, employees, and colleagues. Educational projects are critically evaluated, and the use of funds is reported annually to all benefactors. To learn more about the Balfour Fund, go to Balfour Fund (internal website) or to Rochester Emeriti Center on the Emeriti Website (external). To make a donation, contact the Mayo Clinic Department of Development. For those giving more than $365 a form will be provided if you wish to honor a Mayo educator or mentor and a photograph and information about the honoree is placed on the Balfour Fund website.

Heritage Day Recognition
On October 3rd, the Emeritus Committee and Council placed a wreath in the Memorial Hall on Plummer 14 to commemorate our departed Emeriti as we did last year during Heritage Days. Dr. Gianrico Farrugia, President and CEO was kind enough to join us for a short recognition program led by Dr. Carl Reading. “We honor today and everyday those giants whose names on these walls remain forever hallowed for their commitment to patients, to the mission of Mayo Clinic and to the betterment of humanity.”
