The gift, from the foundation established by the family of the late Quad/Graphics founder Harry Quadracci, will be used to advance research on eradicating congenital heart disease and improving quality of life for heart patients.
The $1.2 million backs a challenge gift from the Herma family, who pledged to match every donation to the hospital’s heart center up to $8 million.
“The fact that Milwaukee … can boast having one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the country is something we cannot take for granted. Every dollar donated to the hospital makes a direct impact on our community. I look forward to seeing the advancements the hospital makes through this effort inspired by the Herma family,” Joel Quadracci, president and CEO of Quad/Graphics, told Milwaukee Business News.
