Hamiltonians Charles and Margaret Juravinski invest $3.3 million in COVID-19 and brain health research
Philanthropists Charles and Margaret Juravinski have made a new gift of $3.3 million to accelerate COVID-19-related and brain health research as part of the newly formed Juravinski Research Institute in Hamilton.
Last spring the couple created an endowment of $100 million or more to support collaborative research across Hamilton Health Sciences, McMaster University and St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. Their estate commitment is one of Canada’s largest ever planned legacy gifts and established the Juravinski Research Institute.
Charles, 90, and Margaret, 88, wanted to help advance the work of the city’s renowned health researchers, practitioners and clinician-scientists as they tackle the many challenges the COVID-19 pandemic poses in our local community, across the country and around the globe.
