In March 2018, Richard and Susan Rogel committed $150 million to the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center to boost cancer research and develop the next generation of cancer pioneers. It is the largest gift ever to Michigan Medicine and one of the largest in the university’s history. The center was renamed the Rogel Cancer Center in honor of the Rogels' many years of giving and service.
