San Diego

Emily Hunte Black, a San Diegan who has made gifts to Scripps Clinic for 25 years, has contributed $3 million to help build the Ida M. and Cecil H. Green Cancer Center at the clinic. The 130,000-square-foot, four-story center is to be built next to the existing outpatient center. Another $25 million is being sought from private donors.

Black’s father, the late Henry G. Fenton, came to San Diego in 1879 with his mother and two sisters. Black began making gifts to Scripps after her late husband, Rear Adm. Louis Hunte, became a Scripps trustee in 1966. She married Rear Adm. Dean Black in 1983.
