From the San Francisco Chronicle: “Atherton philanthropist and Business Wire founder Lorry Lokey is donating $75 million to the Stanford University School of Medicine to help build what may be the nation's largest center for stem cell research, school officials will announce today. Lokey, who at age 81 has become one of the country's most generous givers, promised to give at least $33 million to the center in February 2007. At the time, the pledge was the largest in the medical school's history. With today's announcement, Lokey more than doubles his commitment. School officials say he is the lead contributor for a $200 million stem cell research building that will break ground Oct. 27 and be finished in the summer of 2010.”
