We are pleased to highlight a few of the gifts and pledges received during July and August 2005:
- An anonymous gift of nearly $2 million will support construction of the Cardiovascular Research Institute building during the second phase of construction at the UCSF Mission Bay campus.
- A $2.8 million bequest from the estate of Maurice Eliaser, Jr., MD, will establish (1) an endowed chair in the Department of Psychiatry at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute to study genetic and/or environmental forces on brain dysfunction and (2) a distinguished professorship in the School of Medicine for research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular disease. Eliaser was an alumnus of the UCSF Class of 1935 and an emeritus faculty member.
- A final distribution of $112,622 from the estate of Carl Lovotti, PHRMG, was received, bringing his total bequest to just under $5.4 million. Of this amount, more than $5 million was designated to the School of Pharmacy, with the remainder to the School of Medicine. Lovotti graduated from UCSF in 1915 and died in June 2003 at age 97.
- The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded a $1.9 million grant for a pilot program to develop a collaborative effort in patient safety. The program will involve the UCSF Medical Center and the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy as well as Kaiser San Francisco and El Camino Hospital in Redwood City.
- A gift of $300,000 from Joyce and Lawrence J. Stupski will support UCSF's Cardiac Stem Cell Translational Development Program. This gift is part of a total commitment of $1.5 million to the program.
- A $100,000 pledge from Mary Ann and George M. Wyman of Kailua, Hawaii, will establish an endowed scholarship fund in the School of Nursing. Mary Ann is a 1956 graduate of the School.
