Dear UCSF Community,

I am pleased to share the news that UCSF has received a $100 million gift from the Edward Fein Charitable Trust that provides unrestricted support to our Memory and Aging Center. 

It is the first gift to name a division at UCSF, and in recognition, we are honored to rename it the Edward and Pearl Fein Memory and Aging Center. The center is part of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and the Department of Neurology.

This generous philanthropic investment comes at a critical moment as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s affect growing numbers of people worldwide, and it will create a lasting impact for our patients, their families, and the dedicated health professionals who care for them.

We thank the Edward Fein Charitable Trust for their visionary support and commitment to helping us advance our mission.

Sincerely, 

Sam Hawgood, MBBS
