The Founder's Council was established in 1988 as a
dynamic organization that would honor the founder of the Southwest
Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR), Thomas Baker Slick
Jr., and work in support of his extraordinary vision.
With bold foresight, Tom Slick set out at the young age
of 25 to fulfill his dream of creating "a great center
for human progress through scientific research." Today,
the fledgling institution he founded in 1941 has emerged as
a renowned, independent biomedical research center that is
a pacesetter in the race to find new preventions, treatments
and cures for life's most serious diseases.
Although Tom Slick died tragically at age 46, his vision
lives on through the continued achievements of SFBR scientists
and many friends and benefactors such as the Founder's Council
who support their work.
The Founder's Council welcomes individuals ages 25 to 46 to
embrace Tom Slick's vision by becoming community advocates
and financial supporters of life-saving biomedical research.
Members' annual donations help fund competitive grants to
SFBR scientists for their vital work, while the group's fun-filled
special events increase community awareness of SFBR's research
and its positive impact on human health. Through these means,
the Founder's Council upholds an inspiring vision to build
a brighter future for us all.
