GIVING<br />

VISION CARE<br />

The vibrant paintings by Gayle Garner Roski, an<br />

accomplished watercolorist, have been exhibited in<br />

museums and galleries from California to Scotland.<br />

Gayle and Edward Roski took a bold step in 2016 to improve<br />

vision and end blindness. They made a landmark $25<br />

million gift to endow and name the USC Gayle and<br />

Edward Roski Eye Institute at Keck Medicine of USC.<br />

Their generosity was inspired by personal experiences<br />

and deep concern for others. After Gayle Garner Roski,<br />

a plein-air watercolorist, received cataract treatment at<br />

the USC Eye Institute, her ability to see color and light<br />

values improved dramatically. To help others fully enjoy<br />

the gift of sight, they decided to make a major gift.<br />

Their exceptional support will enable the USC Roski Eye<br />

Institute to continue its powerful influence on vision<br />

care, research and education around the world.<br />

Edward and Gayle Roski accelerated the advancement of<br />

clinical ophthalmology and vision science through their<br />

landmark gift.<br />
