STRETCH GOAL: Fundraiser honoring my dad, Dr. John E. Winkler

Thank you for your support. This fundraising page has closed, but you can still contribute to their cause here!

For those who do not know, my father took his life 50 years ago. This month marks the anniversary of his passing. To honor his memory, I am fundraising for the UCLA Depression Grand Challenge, which aims to further understand, prevent, and treat depression, the world's greatest health problem. Scientists still understand much less about what causes depression than other serious diseases, like cancer, and the available treatments are limited and effective for only about half of those who seek help. In 2017, UCLA became the first university in the US to offer online screening for depression and suicide to all of its students; to make treatment available immediately to those who need it; and to conduct a rigorous assessment of this program to document and further its impact. This is where I'm designating all donations; any amount you give will help make a difference in expanding this life-saving program. 

If you do not wish to receive further fundraising information from UCLA Health Sciences, please either call us at (855) 364-6945 or email us at OptOutUCLAHSD@support.ucla.edu, providing your name, address, phone number, email, and from which department you're requesting to be removed. Please review UCLA and the UCLA Foundation’s Disclosure Statements for Prospective Donors at www.uclafoundation.org/disclosures
