The Wakely Family Endowment for Alzheimer's Research
In honor of Mickey’s legacy, we established this endowment to generate ongoing funding for ground-breaking research. Donating to the endowment directly supports graduate students and researchers dedicated to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. It will empower them to look beyond traditional research theories and focus on new and innovative approaches, producing a greater understanding of the brain’s complexity and the factors that cause its decline. By advancing brain research, we move closer to finding the cure for Alzheimer’s.
