With a $20 million pledge, Hanna and Mark Gleiberman established the Hanna and Mark Gleiberman Center for Glaucoma Research at UC San Diego, as well as three new endowed chairs, with the goal of finding ways to reverse the effects of glaucoma, a disease from which Mark suffers. This gift follows a 2021 donation to establish the Hanna and Mark Gleiberman Head and Neck Cancer Center at Moores Cancer Center.

We choose to support causes which we have a connection with, be it the Gleiberman Head and Neck Cancer Center at UC San Diego, after Hannas treatments, or in the case of the glaucoma research center, with my experience with the disease, said Gleiberman. It is important for us to team up with the top physician-scientists in the world to address medical issues that will improve the quality of life for many people.
