Dear Friends, Donors and Volunteers:

As another successful year ends, let’s not just celebrate the season, but also the seeds of a brighter future. At BRF, we believe in the power of innovation to improve lives and fuel economic prosperity. This holiday season, we invite you to join us in planting the seeds of hope for a thriving community.

Imagine:

• A bustling research hub attracting top talent and cutting-edge companies fueled by the work of our Shreveport Next business recruitment division.

• New businesses blossoming, jobs created, families empowered by entrepreneurship, and a vibrant network of small businesses taking root thanks to our Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program (EAP).

• Groundbreaking research, diagnostics and therapies that improve and save lives through our Center for Molecular Imaging and Therapy (CMIT).

• Growing activity and workforce along Shreveport’s Healthcare and Development Corridor by investing in the next generation of leaders via our STEM education programs.

This is the vision BRF champions. We’re not just investing in medical breakthroughs, we’re investing in the lifeblood of Shreveport-Bossier – its people, its businesses and its potential. This year, consider a different kind of holiday gift—a gift that goes beyond the season and has the potential to sustain our community for generations to come.

Your end-of-year donation, no matter the size, can be a catalyst for transformative change. It is an investment in the health of our community, the future of our workforce, and the prosperity of our region.

From all of us at BRF, we wish you a happy holiday season filled with the joy of giving, the warmth of connection and the promise of a prosperous future we can build together.

If you have any questions about your gift, please reach out to Dr. Morgan L. Patrick, Director of Philanthropy, at 318-816-1357 or [email protected].

With gratitude,

John F. George Jr., M.D.
BRF President and CEO
