Celine Dion Foundation Donates $2 Million to Study of Autoimmune Neurology
The Celine Dion Foundation has pledged $2 million to create the Celine Dion Foundation Endowed Chair in Autoimmune Neurology.
According to a press release, Amanda Piquet, MD, who is the director of the Autoimmune Neurology Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, will be the inaugural chair holder. The press release adds that additional resources from the donation will “provide financial support for students, research expenditures, participation in conferences, curriculum development and other initiatives prioritized by the chair holder.” In a statement released when the doc was first announced in January, Dion said, “This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me.”
