Inspired by their personal battles with cancer, long-time Kansas City residents Jim and Virginia Stowers founded the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in 1994. The Stowers dedicated their personal fortune to endow the Institute with gifts totaling $2 billion. Today the 600,000 square-foot biomedical research facility is situated on a 10-acre campus in the heart of Kansas City, Mo., near the headquarters of American Century Investments. More than 40 percent of American Century Investments' profits support research to help find cures for the genetically-based diseases including cancer, diabetes and dementia.
