$1 Million Given to Start Cancer Center in Rockefeller's Name
Little Rock 12/28/06 - Governor Huckabee gave $1 million to the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Thursday as seed money for a cancer research center in honor of late Lieutenant Governor Win Rockefeller. The money will go toward establishing the Winthrop Paul Rockefeller Cancer Research Institute, in honor of Rockefeller, who died in July after battling a rare blood condition. UAMS officials and Rockefeller's widow say they hoped private donations and state funds could eventually help pay for the $124 million center. Earlier this year, legislators approved a $40 million bond issue to be paid by tobacco settlement revenues to establish the new cancer center.Tags: Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, Win Rockefeller
