Help Educate Future Generations

Support The Lacks Family-led initiative HELA100, which mission is to preserve Henrietta Lacks legacy and educate future generations on the impact of her immortal HeLa cells while promoting health equity and social justice.

At only 31 years of age, Henrietta Lacks' life was cut short, yet decades years later, her immortal HeLa cells continue to change the world. To honor her and to support HELA100, please become a "HELA100 Champion" - a $31 monthly sustainer. For about $1 a day or the cost of a dinner out, you can show your appreciation for all the good Henrietta Lacks has done for the world.

As a thank you for recognizing the importance of Henrietta Lacks global contribution, we will send you a quarterly gift as a HELA100 Champion!

Your tax-deductible donation directly supports The Lacks Family and our family-led not-for-profit initiative HELA100.
