Celine Dion Foundation Pledges $2 Million For Fight Against Autoimmune Neurology
The Celine Dion Foundation will establish the Celine Dion Foundation Endowed Chair in Autoimmune Neurology.
With that funding, the Celine Dion Foundation will establish the Celine Dion Foundation Endowed Chair in Autoimmune Neurology, with Amanda Piquet, MD, FAAN, director of the Autoimmune Neurology Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, named as the inaugural chair holder. This “significant gift,” reads a statement, will provide financial support for students, research expenditures, participation in conferences, curriculum development and other initiatives prioritized by Piquet, and will bolster the specialist’s focus on translational studies. While the symptoms of the chronic disorder began appearing in the mid-2000s, they got progressively worse, until Dion made the announcement in Dec. 2022 that she’d been diagnosed with the incurable ailment that caused her to cancel a planned tour that year.
