Golden Circle

The Texas Biomedical Research Institute Golden Circle is an esteemed giving society for those interested in driving discoveries that transform biomedical research. Established in 1977, the Golden Circle invests in the mission of Texas Biomed and has a direct impact on the health of people worldwide.

The Argyle member discount is designed to recognize Argyle members’ support to Texas Biomed annually. A Golden Circle membership is separate from, and does not fulfill, your annual Argyle donation to Texas Biomed.
