PEWAUKEE, Wis, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - グローバルな従業員移転会社である WHR Group, Inc.

Donations to St. Marcus School
St. Marcus School, founded in 1872, is the largest urban Lutheran school in the U.S. “What makes St. Marcus so unique,” says Superintendent Henry Tyson, “is demonstrated by our exceptional results in a place that’s proven tough to get good results.” The government does not give enough financial support to deliver an exceptional education to each child, explains Tyson, but WHR’s philanthropic contributions have helped to bridge that gap. “Access to great education in a city where a great education is hard to find is transformational,” says Tyson.
The school, with two campuses just four blocks apart, is located in a predominantly low-income, inner-city neighborhood with a vision of working to ensure that every family has access to high-quality education in the city of Milwaukee. Its 2019-2020 State Report Card received five stars, meaning “significantly exceeds expectations.” Few schools in the inner city and even fewer that are low income and predominantly African American receive this type of State Report Card, explains Tyson. St. Marcus follows graduates for eight years and reports a 90% high school graduation rate.
WHR’s employees also participate in the St. Marcus Christmas Angels program. “Lots of our families are on tight budgets, and they cannot always bless and celebrate their children during the holidays with presents, and that can be upsetting. WHR has stepped in and said, ‘we will give and share what we have with people who have a lot less,’” says Tyson. Tyson believes the City of Milwaukee and our country have significant segregation. “It’s so beneficial for employees of WHR to meet and interact with our families, since it creates bridges. Anytime you can build bridges, it’s transformational for the students and their families.” WHR is a suburban company west of Milwaukee, Wis.
WHR Founder and Owner, Roger Thrun, who is originally from Chicago and raised lower middle class, reflects on WHR’s philanthropic efforts with both St. Marcus and Mayo Clinic. “It doesn’t matter what color someone’s skin is, all that matters is that our money and efforts are going to great causes and that we can help someone,” says Thrun. “I feel fortunate that WHR is able to help people in other communities and I can see tangible results from our philanthropic efforts. I know that St. Marcus School is influencing and shaping kids to be successful for the rest of their lives.” A cancer survivor himself, Thrun understands how important it is to receive good healthcare. “I also know that on any given day, someone is getting a personalized cancer plan that WHR paid for through our research funding program. This program saves lives.”
Funding Cancer Research at Mayo Clinic
Mayo Clinic’s Hepatobiliary and Pancreas Surgeon, Surgical Oncologist, Dr. Mark J. Truty’s, M.D., M.S., revolutionary research practice has found a proven way to help pancreatic cancer patients who have been told elsewhere that they are out of options. “There is such a stigma associated with pancreatic cancer,” says Truty. With the standard level of care, the survival rate is 5% after 5 years, dependent on the cancer Stage, explains Truty. His research practice has found a way to significantly increase those survival odds, giving patients much more time to enjoy their lives – even for some patients who have been told their cancer was inoperable. “WHR’s generous philanthropic contributions have made a massive impact and help to keep my program alive,” says Truty. The contributions have also drawn attention to Truty’s program. Many researchers are clamoring for support but having a benefactor like WHR points a finger at the program and makes it easier. “Lots of medical research is going into discovery, but I want to see something translational,” says Truty, who explains his research directly helps patients now.
膵臓癌の治療は、通常、順次行われます。1つの薬剤を使用し、それが効かない場合は2つ目の薬剤を試します。「この治療法では、時間はどんどん過ぎていきます」とトゥルティは言う。とトゥルティは言う。「彼のアプローチは、この問題をまったく違った形で解決する。Trutyの研究室で、手術前に腫瘍を縮小させる効果が高いことがすでに証明されている個別化された化学療法を患者に施すのである。「標準的な治療では不十分で、何か特別なものを患者に与える必要がある」とTrutyは言う。 彼は、WHRの支援に感謝しています。"WHRのオーナー Roger Thrun は、単にビジネスを成功させることよりも大切なことがあると理解しています。" "Rogerは、恩返しの重要性を理解しているのです。
「確かに、私たちは不動産を購入し、転勤者の引っ越し業者を探す手伝いをしていますが、煮詰めていけば、私たちはただ人を助けているだけなのです。メイヨークリニックのTruty博士とセントマーカススクールの Henry Tyson 、本当に人々の生活に変化をもたらしているのです。トゥルーティ先生は命を救い、セントマーカススクールは、すでに深刻なハンディキャップを背負っている子供たちに影響を与え、彼らの残りの人生に前向きな出発点を与えています」と、スランは言う。スランは、すべての従業員と顧客に感謝している。そして、WHRが25年経った今でも健在であること、他の地域にも良い影響を与えることができることを誇りに思っている。
