About H.H. Gregg, Inc.

Jerry Throgmartin, President and CEO of H. H. Gregg, is a cancer survivor who was cured of lymphoma 25 years ago. Today he is chairman of the 30-member IU Cancer Center Development Board whose members raise philanthropic resources for the IU School of Medicine’s cancer program.

In 1994, during the School’s first-ever capital campaign, H. H. Gregg committed $125,000 to the IU Cancer Research Institute building fund and shortly after established the H. H. Gregg Professorship with a gift of $500,000. Most recently, Mr. Throgmartin and H. H. Gregg have created a Senior Chair at the $2 million level, to be held by the Director of the IU Cancer Center.

Mr. Throgmartin has stated that because cancer affects virtually every family, including those of H. H. Gregg employees, his company is firmly committed to supporting the Indiana University School of Medicine and its mission. He has demonstrated his sincere desire to find better treatments for cancer patients through both exemplary service and philanthropy.
