This generous donation builds on the couple’s previous support, including a 2021 gift that established an endowed directorship. The Adlers’ commitment to bereavement services stems from a personal tragedy 20 years ago when their son and daughter-in-law’s child was stillborn at nine months

“When you grieve the loss of a child, you can’t help but imagine who they might have been, the life they might have lived,” said Tom Adler, UH trustee emeritus. “Those of us who remain have to find a way forward.
