Arizona Elks Endowed Chair in Neonatology Research

In 2003, the Arizona Elks committed to creating the “Arizona Elks Endowed Chair in Neonatology Research.” An endowed chair generates income that lasts forever. Every year, a portion of the interest is available to the Chair to support his research and provide seed funding to promising young investigators interested in neonatal research.

Arizona Elks Endowed Chair in Statewide Pediatric Research

In 2017 this chair created a leadership position to focus on children’s health throughout Arizona. In the Maricopa County, the State’s population center, Elks sponsored the Phoenix Translational Research Facility.

Arizona Elks Endowed Faculty Research for Technology and Innovation

Following the up on amazing research being done with the Confocal Microscope Arizona Elks purchased for the Steele Center in 2016, this endowment provides the best equipment available for the researchers at the Center. “Research is moving at a pace not seen before,” said Steele Center Director Dr. Fayez Ghishan “To keep pace the Elks are providing the latest scientific equipment.”

There is simply no price that can be assigned to the thousands of books, hundreds of blankets and beanies that have been knitted by the Elks for the premature babies, or the thousands of donated toys that have brought a smile to a sick child’s face.
