The Valerie Hanna Sept. 11 Fund
The sad events of September 11 bring home to us that we live in a
dangerous world and some people are willing to go to great lengths
to harm us. Valerie was very interested in the role of the high containment
laboratory being built at the University of Texas in Galveston, Texas in
protecting us against emerging infectious diseases. We the family have
established a fund to support the research of this laboratory in countering
the potential use of highly dangerous germs by terrorists.
This tribute allows her wishes and interests to live on in a way that would help prevent the terrorist use of these dangerous agents to harm those of us who remember her so fondly.
All donations will go toward the work of the new high containment lab at UTMB. This lab is also referred to as the BSL-4 lab in the media (which means Bio-Safety Lab, level 4; level 4 is the highest level of containment when working with hazardous viruses and bacteria).
The Valerie Hanna/Sept. 11 Fund:
- All
checks should be made out to UTMB or the University of Texas Medical Branch.
-- On the memo line of the check, or in a note attached to the check, please specify that this is a donation in the memory of Valerie Hanna for the BSL-4 lab.
