As an outgrowth
of the successful Silver Ribbon Campaign for the Brain, the
Brain Imaging Center Committee named its annual fundraising
event the Silver Ribbon Dinner. Each dinner honors a
public figure who has been an outspoken advocate for those with
disabling brain disorders and disabilities. All funds
raised at the event support research conducted at the Brain
Imaging Center.
An honoree's efforts may have
been in the form of advocacy for increased research dollars,
legislation for better treatments, or public appearances to
reduce the stigma of all brain disorders. In addition to a
public figure, each dinner also honors a community volunteer who
has contributed time and energy to benefit the Brain Imaging
Center. Each honoree is given a beautiful clear statuette
representing the Silver Ribbon.

Renowned NBC broadcast
journalist Jane Pauley was the featured speaker at the
10th Silver Ribbon Award Dinner. Known for her
work on NBC’s “Today” show and “Dateline,” Pauley proved
thought-provoking and engaging at the dinner for 140
guests held April 25 at the Island Hotel in Newport
Beach. |

The Silver Ribbon Award
was presented to Peggy Goldwater Clay, 16-year Brain
Imaging Center committee president. “She is passionate
about this organization and has been the backbone to its
success,” said UCI School of Medicine Dean Tom Cesario.
The dinner netted $30,000 for the center’s
internationally recognized work in neurological and
neuropsychiatric diseases. |
