Why I Give: Morley Glicken

“When I was growing up in North Dakota, everyone knew that if you had a serious medical problem that couldn’t be treated locally, you went to Mayo Clinic.

What I can say without hesitation is that the care provided at Mayo Clinic is exceptional. By exceptional I mean medical care that is patient-centered, unrushed, clearly explained, innovative, evidenced-based, and warm and caring.

As a retired professor of social work and a former CEO of a large nonprofit social agency, I believe that when charitable giving is personal, it comes from the heart and it carries with it a powerful message to others … this is a place I believe in.”

Why We Give: Pennie and Joe Di Prima 

“Mayo Clinic is a special place — it’s the cohesiveness, competency and compassion shown by the doctors and staff and the immediate follow-up. The level of care is just so different, and it’s a pleasure to be on campus. All in all, it’s just such a fantastic organization. We believe in giving back, and it gives us such joy to give to Mayo.”
