WORKING TOGETHER ALWAYS WORKS

Meyer Society

Our founding trustee, Fred Meyer, believed in the power of fitness and invested deeply. Named in his honor, Meyer Society Planned Giving celebrates his legacy of stewardship by giving others the opportunity to invest in the future of our research through estate plan gifts.

The Meyer Society Lecture Series highlights this opportunity as part of an engaging discussion on the future of public health and research. At this year’s lecture Margaret Spellings, President and CEO of Texas 2036, discussed how raising a healthy workforce is critical to the future success of the Texas.

I had the great pleasure of knowing Fred Meyer as a board member of my company. He was a great leader and a true friend. He was passionate about the research being done at The Cooper Institute and kindly recommended me to the Board of Trustees. I am proud to be a member of the Meyer Society and to promote the great work of The Cooper Institute, which will benefit future generations here and around the world.

TOGETHER, WE IMPACT COMMUNITIES

THE SMALLEST EFFORTS OFTEN MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT.

Whether they are vendors, teammates, business leaders, legislators, or life-long fitness enthusiasts, the daily efforts of our volunteers and advocates support our mission and help change the world.

Cooper Give for Good

Teammates across the Cooper campus understand and continue to demonstrate their commitment through the Cooper Give For Good campaign. Nearly 500 teammates have given over $200,000 to support our research and make an impact in Dallas where we live, work and play.
