Create a legacy that will improve people’s lives through discovery

As a long-time neighbor of the Laboratory, I was aware of its reputation for excellent science.”

Bob Gay

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Helix Society honors the generous friends who inform us of their commitment to our research and science education programs by naming us in their wills or through other kinds of planned gifts. Members are invited to special events and recognized in CSHL publications.

Bob Gay
Bob Gay

“As a long-time neighbor of the Laboratory, I was aware of its reputation for excellent science. Then, I joined the Cold Spring Harbor Lab Association board and learned much more about the impact of its discoveries.”

“Several years later, my wife Nancy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and we were devastated to learn there was no cure. When Nancy died in 2007, I endowed a research fellowship at Cold Spring Harbor in her name. Today, CSHL’s pancreatic cancer research is recognized as among the best in the world. Significantly, it involves treatment developments that are being tested in early and mid-stage clinical trials. I believe my estate gift will further advance this progress and help spare future families of the heartbreak of losing the most important people in their lives.”

Double Helix Medals Dinner

Science is hope. Most people see science as the key to dealing with coronavirus and helping us put this chapter behind us. I am very proud to be associated with an institution that is making such a difference in the world.”

Dr. Marilyn Simons, CSHL Chairman

Former baseball pro-athlete Reggie Jackson, a.k.a Mr. October, addresses the virtual participants at the 2020 Double Helix Medals event. Jackson will be awarded a Double Helix Medal in 2021 for his work supporting schools that provide STEM education to underserved students through the Mr. October Foundation.
