Labs of any size are encouraged to apply and the donation recipient will be notified by email.
“Our mission with Peak Serum’s Cares for Cures program is to give back to the research community that continues to support Peak Serum,” said Tom Kutrubes, President and CEO of Peak Serum, Inc. “It is my belief that it is our responsibility as a company to go the extra mile in supporting research initiatives can change the world.”
Dr. Wendy Huang of the UC San Diego School of Medicine was awarded the first Cares for Cures Grant in 2017. Her team’s research impacts inflammatory bowel conditions, breast, prostate and intestinal cancers and other inflammation-related diseases.
From the Department of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, Dr. Russell Pachynski was the second recipient of the Cares for Cures Grant in 2018. His groundbreaking research is very unique and encompasses both clinical (prostate) and laboratory (leukocyte) research.

Peak Serum, Inc. Donates $2,000 to Project Self-Sufficiency During the Month of December
Peak Serum, Inc. contributed $2,000 to Project Self-Sufficiency’s (PS-S) Holiday Family Fund during the month of December. A percentage of all December sales were donated to “provide much-needed smiles during the holiday season,” said Tom Kutrubes, President and CEO of Peak Serum, Inc.
The Holiday Family Fund helps enhance the holiday season for many participants’ families. With Peak Serum’s $2,000 donation, 20 children from 14 different families were able to enjoy and provide a holiday celebration for their children. “Our staff and participants are extremely grateful for this gift from Peak Serum, Inc.,” said Neva Menchaca, Project Self-Sufficiency Program Coordinator.
“Peak Serum, Inc. appreciates everything Project Self-Sufficiency contributes to Northern Colorado and is honored to partner with an organization that has brought the promise of education to single parents for over 30 years,” said Kutrubes.
Project Self-Sufficiency serves approximately 160 low-income families each year. The program provided by Project Self-Sufficiency supports families who earn below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, meaning that many of these families will not celebrate the holidays and if they do, many of the parents will not be able to afford gifts for their children. When entering the PS-S program, 56.82% of Project Self-Sufficiency participants are homeless.

Peak Serum, Inc. Launches Customer Rewards Program
Peak Serum, Inc., a privately owned and independent supplier of life science laboratory products, has introduced Peak Premier Rewards; a program designed to reward customers who regularly purchase Fetal Bovine Serum and lab accessories.
“We value the loyalty of our customers, and are excited to offer Peak Premier Rewards to every customer, including individuals and research labs,” said Tom Kutrubes, President and CEO of Peak Serum, Inc.
The Peak Premier Rewards program allows customers to earn points each time a purchase is made; each dollar is worth one point. For example, a purchase of $100 worth of lab accessories is worth 100 points while a purchase of $500 fetal bovine serum is worth 500 points. In the previous example, the purchase would result in 600 points, and 500 points can be exchanged for $10 off coupon.
Customers are able to redeem points for coupons toward future purchases.
“Peak Serum created Peak Premier Rewards to give our customers the best experience with our company and products,” said Kutrubes. “We cannot thank our customers enough for the repeat business and loyalty over the years.”
Peak Serum, Inc. Donates December Sales to Project Self-Sufficiency’s Holiday Family Fund
On behalf of its customers, Peak Serum, Inc. is donating a percentage of its December sales to support Project Self-Sufficiency’s (PS-S) Holiday Family Fund. Peak Serum’s goal is to provide gifts for up to 20 children of Project Self-Sufficiency participants. “Peak Serum’s ultimate goal is to provide much-needed smiles this holiday season,” said Tom Kutrubes, President and CEO of Peak Serum, Inc.
“The holidays are a time for celebration and happiness, something that doesn’t come easy for many of our single-parent families. Project Self-Sufficiency Participants are devoted to school and their career path, as a result, they often do not have the resources to provide a holiday celebration for their children,” said Neva Menchaca, Project Self-Sufficiency Program Coordinator.
Project Self-Sufficiency serves approximately 160 low-income families each year. The program provided by Project Self-Sufficiency supports families who earn below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, meaning that many of these families will not celebrate the holidays and if they do, many of the parents will not be able to afford gifts for their children. When entering the PS-S program, 56.82% of Project Self-Sufficiency participants are homeless.
The Holiday Family Fund helps enhance the upcoming holiday season for many participants’ families. “With the help of Peak Serum, 20 children from 14 families will have gifts to open for their holiday celebrations! Thank you Peak Serum for helping make the holidays brighter for our Participants’ children,” said Menchaca.
“Peak Serum, Inc.’s continual growth is due to our loyal customers and supportive community. We are proud to not only honor our customers but support Project Self-Sufficiency through this project,” said Kutrubes. “We hope, through our donation, to empower PS-S participants to reach their financial and educational goals by bringing joy and holiday cheer to their children.”

TOGETHER, WE IMPACT LIVES.
Peak Serum, Inc. is proud to announce its 2018 Cares for Cures Grant recipient, Russell Pachynski of the Washington University School of Medicine.

Research labs and organizations are encouraged to apply for donations of Fetal Bovine Serum through the Peak Serum website and grants are given each fiscal year.
Pachynski, Assistant Professor at Washington University School of Medicine, is the second recipient of the Cares for Cures Grant.

Peak Serum launched Cares for Cures in 2017 and that same year awarded Dr. Wendy Huang of the UC San Diego School of Medicine for her work in examining the link between DDX proteins, their ability to modify RNA structures and their link between inflammation and cancers.
Finally Home, a national non-profit 501(c)3, has been training and encouraging foster, kinship and adoptive families since 2008. Finally Home was created to equip and encourage families as they provide a safe and loving home where wounded children can heal. Even with the best of intentions, families can experience severe discouragement in the face of children’s behaviors that go far beyond their expertise or expectations. A family in crisis will often feel isolated in the midst of their suffering. Finally Home’s vision to equip communities to serve these families with research-based psycho-education, authentic friendship and practical help.
