The Indiana University Cancer Center is reeling in record donations, but still has a way to go before it's among the leaders of the pack.

In recent weeks the center has landed its two largest-ever single gifts, with pledges of $7.5 million from the Eli Lilly and Co. Foundation and $6.8 million from the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer.
By comparison, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York also just landed its biggest gift: a $100 million commitment from the charitable trust of media and real estate tycoon Mortimer Zuckerman."
