Event organizer will implement charitable giving through non-profit’s vaccine donation program.
Pharmaceutical Business Conference Group (PBCG), a clinical trials conference organizer, will partner with Greater Gift, a non-profit with the mission to increase awareness of clinical research as a care option, to implement charitable giving programs at its Clinical Outsourcing Group meetings, which are held globally throughout the year.
"We are thrilled to partner with Pharmaceutical Business Conference Group to further our mission and simplify the process for corporations and individuals to contribute to pay forward the gift of health," said Joan Chambers, CEO of Greater Gift, in a release. She added, "PBCG events attract top leaders in the pharmaceutical space, establishing their conferences as an ideal platform for increasing charitable contributions from this community."
The program will utilize Greater Gift’s collaboration with GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance. PBCG outsourcing speakers will use a referral code for pharmaceutical and biotech colleagues to register, triggering a PBCG donation. The charity, with GAVI, then donates a vaccine to a child in need. Registrants receive notification post-event as to how many donations their contributions made.
The new charitable referral program debuts at PBCG's Clinical Outsourcing Group Europe meeting on October 10 and 11 in Milan, Italy.
