SLI Legacy Donors
The BU CSTE is able to conduct pathological research thanks to tissue donations from benevolent families. These families have had the foresight to understand that this research will help protect millions of other athletes competing today and in the future, as well as accelerate the search for a cure for CTE.
We are forever thankful to the families that continue to put their trust in SLI and the BU CSTE. Without their selfless actions, SLI would never have started down the path toward discovery.
Donor families often choose to stay involved with SLI and BU CSTE research through the Family Advisory Board.
*Below the SLI Legacy Donors are listed regardless of results of their brain analysis, and many cases are pending. All have been listed with the permission of their family. Click the story links below to learn more about the Legacies of our Donors and any public results of the research.
