The recipient of the Lifetime Legacy Award, Darlene Shiley is a visionary leader whose philanthropy has transformed lives here in San Diego and across the country. Shiley’s wide-ranging philanthropic interests are the result of a fierce passion for helping others — a passion she shared with her late husband, Donald. This has led to a truly remarkable legacy of impact at UC San Diego.
More than 30 years ago, Darlene and Donald Shiley made a transformational gift to establish the internationally recognized Shiley Eye Institute at UC San Diego Health. In addition to longstanding support for Shiley Eye Institute, Shiley has made significant and transformational gifts to UC San Diego Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at UC San Diego Health, undergraduate scholarships and other programs across campus.
