Carol Jane Herscot

A Gift from the Heart

For more than six decades, Carol Herscot and her husband Jim shared a life built on partnership, perseverance, and a deep commitment to giving back. From the earliest days of their marriage, Carol and Jim believed in the power of giving. Steadfast supporters of Mass General Hospital for 50 years, the Herscots’ giving was broad and deeply impactful, including the establishment of the first-of-its-kind Herscot Center for Tuberous Sclerosis for world-class care and research of this rare disease. “Why not help others? Why not give back to the people who give to you?” became a guiding philosophy—a testament to their humble roots and the gratitude they felt for their own success.

Carol’s journey with Mass Eye and Ear involved a complex set of corneal, retinal, and glaucomarelated issues that presented unique challenges. “Even in the face of prolonged uncertainty and a difficult clinical course, Carol remained remarkably positive,” said Dr. Demetrios Vavvas, Director of the Retina Service. “She was unwavering in her determination and courage.”

Throughout this period, what stayed with Carol most was the commitment of her caregivers. “The doctors never gave up, and the atmosphere was one of mutual respect, warmth, and even laughter,” said Carol. “We shared a camaraderie that made me feel valued and supported and I know their commitment—and mine—will continue.”

Moved by this extraordinary care, Carol chose to make a very generous gift to Mass Eye and Ear—not because she was asked, but because she was inspired. Her gift was an act of gratitude and hope, aimed at advancing vision research and improving treatments for future patients while also honoring her and Jim’s lifelong belief in helping others. “Carol embodies the very best of philanthropy—gratitude turned into action,” said Dr. Roberto Pineda, Cornea Specialist. “Her gift allows us to explore new ideas, deepen our understanding of complex diseases, and ultimately deliver better care for future generations. We are profoundly grateful for her belief in our work.”

“Losing vision has been a tremendous struggle for me. My greatest hope is that by supporting Mass Eye and Ear’s research, future patients will benefit from new sight-saving treatments

Carol Herscot .”

Carol Jane Herscot

“Dr. Comander’s compassion and expertise have made Mass Eye and Ear a place where I feel truly understood and cared for. That, coupled with my brother’s profound generosity, gives me hope for what the future of treatment—and my future—can look like.”

Natalia Ayoub

Stephen Ayoub, Jason Comander, MD, PhD, and Natalia Ayoub

Stephen Ayoub

Hope, Determination, and a Gift to Advance Science

When Natalia Ayoub was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited blinding disease, her older brother Stephen immediately set out to find her the best possible care. What began as a few online searches turned into months of deep research into clinical trials, academic centers, and emerging treatments. In a short time, he became fluent in the science of RP—relentlessly tracking new discoveries and calling experts across the country. Natalia recalls being struck by his determination: once he recognized the scope of the challenge, he didn’t hesitate. He simply moved into action.

That resolve eventually led the Ayoubs to Mass Eye and Ear and Dr. Jason Comander. For Natalia, the experience was life-changing. She describes her care as the first time she felt fully seen—not only as a patient navigating a rare inherited disease, but as a person. Stephen was equally impressed. “Dr. Comander’s empathy, clarity, and ability to make patients feel truly understood is unmatched,” he said. “His combination of scientific leadership and deep compassion defines the experience and the culture of excellence we found across the entire care team.”

Motivated by his sister’s journey and inspired by the care she is receiving, Stephen chose to invest in Dr. Comander’s work and accelerate progress in retinal gene therapy by establishing the Ayoub Family Chair in Ophthalmology. This endowed gift will advance treatments for inherited retinal diseases, today, and for generations to come by supporting Dr. Comander and his successors.

“This gift is truly remarkable, and I am deeply honored to be named the first Ayoub Family Chair in Ophthalmology,” said Dr. Comander. “Stephen’s generosity will strengthen our work in gene therapy and vision restoration, giving patients and families renewed hope. Thanks to this support, we can continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in treating inherited retinal diseases.”

Patrick and Nussara Decker

Investing in a Future Without Alzheimer’s

For Patrick and Nussara Decker, Alzheimer’s disease is deeply personal. They have seen firsthand the emotional toll Alzheimer’s takes on loved ones and families, and that experience has shaped their passion and commitment to helping advance treatments.

“Anyone can get Alzheimer’s,” said Patrick. “It doesn’t discriminate.” That reality fuels the Deckers’ belief that progress depends on bold thinking and a willingness to rethink long-held assumptions as to cause and cures. They are motivated by a desire to spare other families the heartbreak they know too well—and by the hope that unique scientific approaches can change the future of this devastating disease.

That hope crystallized when Patrick first met Dr. Joseph Arboleda-Velasquez. What immediately stood out to Patrick was Joe’s unconventional approach: instead of focusing solely on people with Alzheimer’s, his research asks a different question—why do some people not develop it, even when they seem genetically destined to do so? “It felt like a paradigm shift,” Patrick explained. “An inverse way of thinking that made so much sense.”

This approach resonated deeply with the Deckers, who were drawn not only to the science, but to Joe’s credibility, passion, empathy, and personal connection to the work.

Dr. Arboleda-Velasquez’s research investigates naturally occurring genetic protection against Alzheimer’s based on a landmark discovery he and his team made in 2019. When studying a population genetically predisposed to develop early-onset Alzheimer’s, they identified a woman who remained cognitively healthy for three decades longer than expected. Her secret: a copy of a protective gene that prevented memory loss, even in the presence of Alzheimer’s pathology. Subsequent research confirmed that this protection was not an anomaly, but a repeatable pattern—offering compelling proof that protection against Alzheimer’s is possible.

Building on these insights, Dr. Arboleda-Velasquez is now translating discovery into action. His team is developing therapies designed to replicate this natural protection, with the goal of safeguarding the broader aging population. The Deckers’ generosity will help to accelerate progress.

“Behind every scientific discovery are families who believe in a better future. Patrick and Nussara’s generosity reflects both compassion and confidence in what this research can achieve, and it fuels our shared hope that Alzheimer’s does not have to be inevitable

“Throughout my career, I have seen what women can achieve when they are encouraged and supported to reach their goals. So, championing women leading groundbreaking research felt deeply natural. The brilliance and determination of these scientists inspire me, and I want to help ensure their ideas have every opportunity to thrive.”

Diane Coulopoulos, PhD

Championing Women in Science

Diane Coulopoulos, PhD, has spent her career advancing education and equity. A Professor Emerita at Simmons University, Diane taught a number of courses in human motivation, developmental psychology, and the psychology of women, while serving as Chair of the Psychology Department. Her leadership extended beyond the classroom—she directed two federally funded programs to improve nondiscriminatory assessment and special education services for culturally diverse and limited English proficient children. Her expertise has been shared nationally and internationally, including consulting on the creation of a diagnostic and teaching center for children with learning disabilities in Kuwait.

An active community member, Diane has served on numerous boards and continues to volunteer at cultural institutions such as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Her passion for education, access, and women leaders, has shaped her philanthropy, particularly at Mass Eye and Ear.

Since 2020, Diane has been a major philanthropic partner, accelerating research and education that transform patient care. Motivated by the need for better awareness and treatment options for Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy, Diane first supported her own physician, Dr. Emma Davies, funding educational seminars and research to close critical gaps in knowledge among patients and providers.

As her engagement deepened, Diane toured the laboratory of Dr. Ula Jurkunas at the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass Eye and Ear and was inspired by the impressive team of dedicated scientists leading critical research to understand corneal disease and develop new therapeutics. Most recently, after joining the Board of Trustees, she was captivated by Dr. Sophia Shalhout’s innovative use of AI to develop new therapies for potentially millions of patients battling varying cancers—a cause close to home for Diane as it is for too many.

Over the past five years, Diane has directed philanthropic support to each of these female principal investigators, fueling discoveries that will change lives.

“Diane’s generosity reflects a powerful theme: women supporting women in science,” said Mass Eye and Ear President CarolAnn Williams. “By championing these leaders, she is helping to shape the future of medicine and ensure that innovation and education remain at the forefront of care.”

Yawkey Foundation

Strengthening Emergency Care Through Visionary Support

Tom and Jean Yawkey devoted more than 80 years to giving back to their community, and their impact remains profound today. Widely known as longtime owners of the Boston Red Sox, those closest to them knew that their private, heartfelt commitment to philanthropy was grounded in a quiet sense of responsibility to helping people in need.

That legacy lives on through the Yawkey Foundation, which carries forward the charitable values that shaped Tom and Jean Yawkey’s lives. Mass Eye and Ear is honored to be among the organizations entrusted with advancing their mission.

A recent gift from the Foundation will support transformational renovations to the hospital’s Emergency Department—one of the nation’s only 24/7 emergency centers dedicated exclusively to eye trauma and conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. This life-changing resource serves patients from across New England who need expert care, fast.

The grant will help redesign the Emergency Department to enhance speed, safety, and comfort. With more exam rooms, improved flow between clinical areas and a new medical command center, the renovated space will allow clinicians to respond faster—when vision, hearing or life itself hangs in the balance.

The Foundation’s support comes at a critical time: patient demand in the Emergency Department has risen 60 percent since 2017. Each year, more patients turn to Mass Eye and Ear for urgent conditions that general emergency rooms are not equipped to treat—ruptured eyes, aggressive infections, retinal detachments, sudden hearing loss, severe nosebleeds or airway issues. These are moments when minutes matter and specialized expertise is essential.

“For the Yawkey Foundation to support this critical project reflects their long-standing commitment to ensuring patients can access the care they need when they need it most,” said Mass Eye and Ear President, CarolAnn Williams. “Demand for specialized emergency care continues to rise even as available services decline. We are deeply grateful for the Yawkey Foundation’s partnership in helping us meet this urgent need and sustain world-class care for all the communities we serve.”

“Jean and Tom Yawkey cared deeply about the people of Boston, and that legacy continues through the Foundation’s commitment to expanding access to highquality health care. We are proud to support Mass Eye and Ear’s Emergency Department renovation, so more patients can receive expert, compassionate care when they need it most

.”

It was a wonderful evening and a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman.

“Being part of Team Eye and Ear was the experience of a lifetime. For twenty years, Mass Eye and Ear has supported my brother, mother, grandmother, and aunt through battles with cancer. Thanks to donor-funded research, my brother has far exceeded his initial prognosis, benefiting from discoveries made at Mass Eye and Ear and its partners. Fundraising is a way for me to give back and help people, like my brother, facing unimaginable diagnoses.”
