Lasting Legacy Gala

At the beginning of this year, the MD Center was named the Greg Marzolf Jr. Muscular Dystrophy Center. This new name honors the enduring support of the Greg Marzolf Jr. Foundation and its donors, and recognizes the lasting legacy of Greg Marzolf Jr., who lived courageously with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Join us as we continue our mission to fund the imperative research happening at the University of Minnesota. 

The next 5 years will mark a pivotal time in progress and treatments.  Your support will directly fund the crucial research happening at the Greg Marzolf Jr. Muscular Dystrophy Center. The time is now to change the future for those living with MD.

  • Increase interaction and support from the regional community of patients and families concerned about muscular dystrophy.
  • And more!
