THE POWER OF EVERY ONE
One for All
By Larry Pollock & Stewart Kohl
We set out on this journey together with a simple conviction: To make a difference, all it takes is one.
One caregiver, putting patients first. One breakthrough in the lab of one researcher, pushing the boundaries of medicine. One important lesson taught by one educator, inspiring a passion for healthcare in others. And one donor, making one gift of any size to support all of the above at Cleveland Clinic.
A decade later, we’ve reached the conclusion of The Power of Every One Centennial Campaign, the most successful philanthropic effort in the history of Cleveland Clinic. When we launched The Power of Every One in 2011, the original goal was $2 billion. We crossed that threshold in 2019 and set a new goal of $2.5 billion, which we ultimately also surpassed. We extend our sincerest appreciation to each and every one of you who contributed to this success.
