Actor Christopher Reeve and philanthropist Joan Irvine-Smith have
established the Reeve-Irvine Research Center, a new center for excellence
dedicated to finding a cure for spinal cord injuries, at the University of
California, Irvine (UCI).
Irvine-Smith pledged $1 million for the center with the understanding that
UCI would raise an additional $2 million to support its lauch.
A celebrity studded fundraising dinner and equestrian competition were held in
August 1996. Christopher Reeve and numerous other celebrities turned out to
help raise $500,000 for the Center.

Research Center is available at:
