2025 HONOREES

We will honor Dr. Gary D. and Christina Co Mather, whose long-standing support of Inova has transformed healthcare in our region, leaving a legacy for generations to come.

In 2020 Inova Schar Cancer opened the Mather Proton Therapy Center, Northern Virginia’s first proton therapy treatment center. Gary and Tina’s lead gift made this cutting-edge therapy accessible for oncology patients in our community. To date, the Mather Proton Therapy Center has provided more than 18,000 treatments and counting. (need to update stat)

The Mathers’ generosity has touched patients and their families across our community in so many meaningful ways. From support for Inova’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to investment in critical behavioral health efforts, to enhancing healing for patients in cancer treatment through support for the Arts and Healing Program, the Mathers’ impact can be felt throughout Inova.

The Mathers’ deep compassion for others and their extraordinary vision has helped to transform Inova into a regional hub of innovation and has brought hope and healing to countless individuals and their families in their cancer journeys. We look forward to honoring the legacy of Gary and Tina Mather this year.
