The Orange County Register Recognizes the Quilter Family

From left to right the Quilter family: Chris, Patrick, Charlie, Ann, Matt, and Patty Quilter

UCI MIND is proud to celebrate a historic philanthropic gift from a local family whose commitment and generosity have transcended a traditional donor relationship with Orange County’s only Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Guided by the visionary leadership of Professor and Director, Joshua Grill, PhD, the long-held goal of bringing UCI MIND’s entire research enterprise under one roof has now become a reality.
On Sunday, December 7th, The Orange County Register, recognized the tremendous gift that the Quilter family has given to UCI MIND towards dementia research.   The front page article details the family’s rise to success, their extraordinary generosity and Ann Quilter’s relationship with UCI MIND.

This relationship—formed years ago with a family deeply rooted in philanthropy and touched by dementia—has resulted in a transformational gift that has served as the catalyst for launching the institute’s capital campaign. It goes without saying that honoring the Quilter family at this year’s December to Remember Gala was truly our honor, more than theirs.
