History
The Dubin Center
Established in 1995, The Dubin Center provides education, support groups, and trusted guidance for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Based in Fort Myers, we serve caregivers throughout Southwest Florida and beyond, offering both in-person and virtual programs for seasonal and out-of-state families. Named in honor of Alvin A. Dubin, the Center continues thanks to a generous legacy gift from his widow, Zelda Dubin, whose commitment to helping others still inspires our work today.
ALVIN & ZELDA DUBIN
Alvin and Zelda Dubin dedicated their lives to helping others through service and philanthropy. After Alvin’s death in 1995, Zelda made a generous legacy gift to ensure that families facing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in our community would always have access to support, education, and hope. In recognition of her extraordinary commitment, the Center was renamed in Alvin’s honor.
Zelda was known throughout the community as a compassionate humanitarian and devoted volunteer, supporting causes that strengthened families and uplifted those in need. She spent her later years at Cypress Cove, which remains a valued partner and supporter of The Dubin Center today.
We are honored that the Dubin family continues to stay connected to our mission, and that Zelda’s legacy lives on through ongoing community support — including the Zelda Giving Society, which recognizes donors who carry forward her spirit of compassion and giving.
