Established in 1995, the Sealy Society recognizes the most generous benefactors of UTMB Health whose financial contributions help build a university that defines the future of health care and health sciences - in our region, across the state, and around the world.
It is altogether fitting that we link the Sealy name with the giving society created to recognize individuals, foundations and corporations who demonstrate outstanding generosity for the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB Health). The Sealy family's history of support for UTMB Health is legendary, dating back to the institution's founding in 1891. The Sealy family and The Sealy & Smith Foundation remain among the institution's staunchest supporters to this day.
Donors are recognized as lifetime members of the Sealy Society once they reach $50,000 in cumulative giving to UTMB Health. Sealy Society members are then honored in that recognition year among a distinguished group of benefactors at an exclusive gathering.
Sealy Society members are also featured in their recognition year on the bronze plaques installed on the “Walk of Honor” between the Moody Medical Library and the Galveston National Laboratory on the flagship Galveston campus.
