2023 Mary Cornelia Bradley Society Honor Roll

Mary Cornelia Bradley’s parents, Professor Harold C. Bradley, PhD, and his wife, Josephine Bradley, helped build the first children’s hospital at UW-Madison in their daughter’s memory. To ensure that children and families from Wisconsin and beyond continue to receive the very best care, we established the Mary Cornelia Bradley Society to appropriately recognize our most generous donors.

We know that every gift designation is a very personal decision, and we are grateful for your support. The American Family Children’s Hospital development staff would love to answer your questions about the children’s hospital and the ways you have impacted sick children and their families. Please call us at (608) 308-5199, visit supportuw.org/giveto/kids or email Paige Haskins to learn more.

We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of this list. We apologize for any error or omission and encourage you to contact us at (608) 308-5199 or Paige Haskins with any corrections.
