In the November 6, 1992 issue of "DC," we reported that Dr. William Harris, president and founder of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE), had donated $100,000 to the National Institute of Chiropractic Research (NICR) for research under way at Arizona State University.
Dr. Harris pledged that if the NICR could raise $100,000 by January
15, 1993, that FACE would give an additional $100,000 to the NICR.
As of November 11, 1992, the NICR has collected $11,000, as
depicted on the barometer graph below.
Contributions may be sent to:

"We still have a long way to go to achieve our goal by the 15th of January. With your help, I know we can do it.
-Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr
President, NICR
