LuskinOIC Team Shatters Records With 89% Employee Giving to MRI Project

The MRI project, part of the Innovation Campaign, has inspired record-breaking generosity across LuskinOIC. It’s the top need identified by LuskinOIC’s medical staff, and we’re proud to announce that 100% of our faculty and an incredible 89% of all employees have contributed to making it a reality.

According to America’s Charities, the national average participation rate for employee giving is around 10%. Even the highest rate reported by United Way campaigns tops out at  67%. LuskinOIC’s 89% participation is nothing short of extraordinary—and a true reflection of our team’s dedication to our mission.

Thanks to your support, we’re one step closer to dramatically improving access to care. Currently, pediatric patients wait 2.5 months for an MRI. Once we have our own machine, that wait time will drop to just 2.5 days—eliminating an estimated 4,235,475 total wait-days for children. That is something to support, celebrate, and be proud of!

This incredible level of support wouldn’t have been possible without our resident campaigner extraordinaire, Mary Beth Perrine, who personally visited every corner of the campus to encourage employee giving for the MRI project. Mary Beth will be retiring next month, and her enthusiasm, passion, and boundless energy will be greatly missed. Though the weather tried to rain on her parade, Mary Beth’s Retirement Hoedown has been rescheduled for Monday, Nov. 17, at 11:30 a.m. Friends, family, donors, staff, and faculty will all mosey down to Palm Drive to celebrate Mary Beth’s 36 years with the organization.
