A transformational $50-million gift is paving the way for McMaster University to become a global leader in Kinesiology and healthspan research.  
 
The investment fuels a vision of helping people increase their healthspan — the years of life lived in good health, free from illness and disease.  
 
It will establish the McCall MacBain Kinesiology and Healthspan Institute, a global research hub uniting experts from across disciplines.  
 
There, healthspan research will be translated into real-world solutions and evidence-informed policy, improving lives around the world.  
 
Future leaders of health will be developed through the Marcy C. McCall Kinesiology Scholarships, the first scholarships of their kind in Canada to offset tuition and guarantee funding for experiential learning. 
 
The gift, from alumna Dr. Marcy McCall MacBain and John McCall MacBain, with the McCall MacBain Foundation (@mccallmacbain), is the largest philanthropic investment in kinesiology in Canadian university history.
