The Cortex Society

To mark our 25th anniversary, Center for BrainHealth has unveiled the Cortex Society to recognize individuals, corporations and foundations whose donations collectively empower our development, growth, and achievement.

Empowering BrainHealth

The 25th anniversary of our founding brings a unique opportunity to thank the donors who have made so much of our success possible.
In recognition of cumulative lifetime giving in support of Center for BrainHealth, we are announcing the creation of The Cortex Society.

Four Levels of Recognition

Representing the four critical regions of the cerebral cortex, donors honored in these recognition levels collectively empower our development, growth, and achievement. Each plays a critical role for the center, just as they do in the brain, and our future success is equally dependent on each.


FRONTAL $1 Million and Above Current Frontal Level Members = 38
TEMPORAL $500,000 to $999,999 Current Temporal Level Members = 16
OCCIPITAL $250,000 to $499,999 Current Occipital Level Members = 23
PARIETAL $100,000 to $249,999 Current Parietal Level Members = 57
The Cortex Society recognition is based on cumulative lifetime giving for all individuals, corporations and foundations supporting Center for BrainHealth since our founding in 1999. Charitable bequests and other deferred gift commitments are included in this recognition.
For individuals who have made personal gifts and others through a family foundation, donor advised fund, or other giving mechanisms, Center for BrainHealth recognizes each source separately for Cortex Society membership. Upon request, donors may combine these sources into just one listing in the appropriate Cortex Society level to reflect all lifetime gifts from all sources.
Make this request by contacting Gail Cepak at 972-883-3408 or gail.cepak@utdallas.edu.
