7. A History of Giving to UConn Health
● The Lublins are annual sponsors of the UConn Cancer
Research Golf Tournament, which has raised more than
$1.7 million since it began.
● In 2012, the Lublins made the first philanthropic gift to
support Bioscience Connecticut initiatives at the UConn
Health Center. In recognition of the couple’s generosity,
UConn will name the waiting room in the new cancer
center in their honor.

8. “The act of giving, multiplied many times, can advance research to new
levels in our efforts to eliminate cancer,” said Richard Lublin. “We’ve seen
what can happen when a great deal of money is given to battle a disease.
The AIDS virus was once a death sentence, but adequate funding allowed
pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession to develop a
treatment that allows patients to go on with their lives. More progress
needs to be made with the hundreds of types of cancer. In 1971,
President Nixon declared war on cancer by signing the National Cancer
Act. Unfortunately, this is a war we are still losing today.”
