About Carole and Ray Neag
Carole and Ray Neag have a strong history
of philanthropic support for the University
of Connecticut and the UConn Health
Center. Their motivation is simple: to
improve the lives of Connecticut families
today and in years to come.
In 2004, the Neags made an extraordinary
$10 million gift – the largest philanthropic
donation in the Health Center’s history – to
the cancer program, now called the Carole
and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer
Center. This generous gift will help support
cancer research and clinical services so that
Connecticut residents never have to travel
far for world class cancer care.

“We have seen firsthand the advances that are occurring daily within the
Cancer Center and understand the tremendous implications for those whose
lives are affected by this disease,” Ray Neag said.
Connecticut has long been in the hearts of
Mr. and Mrs. Neag, who are both natives
of Torrington. Ray Neag is also a graduate
of UConn and is the retired co-founder
and vice chairman of Arrow International,
Inc., a leading manufacturer of disposable critical care and cardiac products for the
medical industry. Previous donations to
the university have supported the Neag
School of Education at Storrs and the
cardiology program at the Health Center. |
