The donation will create the Center of Excellence in University of Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. The center will focus on treating athletes with concussions or other sports injuries.

 

In 2011, the Wilsons awarded $1 million to the University of Buffalo’s Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. Those funds backed the Ralph and Mary Wilson Visiting Professor Lecture Series, an arthroscopy teaching lab and traumatic brain injury research.
