Dede Wilsey: The Famous American Socialite
Dede Wilsey is a famous San Francisco based philanthropist and a famous socialite. Born in 1944, this society queen has devoted her whole life towards the well-being, goodwill and benevolence of others. Dede Wilsey was once given the task of raising funds close to 600 million US dollars for the completion of the UCSF Medical Centre. She consulted a prominent, young Bay Area couple for donation, and she was amazed to see the response. In a short span of time, she was able to accumulate much more than the required money. Out of the donated money of 1.68 billion US dollars, she undertook the construction of a Medical Centre of UCSF. The fund was also utilised for the planned construction of the cancer hospital and the women’s and children’s wing hospital in Mission Bay. Ever since, Dede Wilsey has embarked upon many noble projects. Owing to her credibility and positive attitude, she enjoys the trust of the people around her; who have confidence in her fundraising efforts and strongly believe that the efforts are part of a valuable cause. Dede Wilsey was the ultimate choice for this mission due to her known integrity. Even during the downturn of the economy, she managed to raise 200 million US dollars for the proposed hospital complex.
