Toast to Your Health Wine Auction
THANK YOU!
Your generosity helped us raise $2,051,000 at this year’s Toast To Your Health Wine Auction in support of the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Transplant Institute. Thank you!
Together, we are revolutionizing care and saving lives. Patients who come to The Transplant Institute are often facing end-stage organ failure and untreatable cancers. These are patients who have been told there are no options left. Thanks to supporters like you, we are able to expand access to organ transplantation and offer a second chance at life.
Thank you to Danny and Paula Wegman for the remarkable leadership, as well as Sherwood Deutsch and Michael Misch, auction chairs, Drs. Joshua Weitz and Lesley Loss, and our committee chairs, Sam Guerrieri, Anthony Gugino, Patrick Cunningham, and Bob Duffy, as well as all the members of our Toast To Your Health Wine Auction Committee.

Finding community and eliminating disparities
“We have to start by identifying those with greater needs or who have faced a disproportionate cancer burden for decades,” says Paula Cupertino, PhD. As associate director of Wilmot’s new Office of Community Outreach and Engagement, Cupertino is working with the community to identify research gaps and open clinical trials that will reduce cancer incidence in our region.
