Founded in 2014, the RyanMan Foundation supports the fight against childhood cancer in Mississippi in memory of Ryan LaSource, who passed away at the age of 3 after courageously battling leukemia since he was just six months old. This year’s $20,000 gift will go to the Children’s Cancer Center at UMMC‘s Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit where Ryan received most of his care.

To support the University of Mississippi Medical Center, contact Natalie Hutto, chief development officer, at 601-984-2300 or nhutto@umc.edu.
