MEMORIAL RESEARCH FUND |
 The Colorado State University Center for Biomedical Research in Music has been named recipient of the Charleen B. Flood Memorial Fund for the advancement of Neurological Music Therapy research focused on Parkinson's disease in the amount of $50,000.
"We are extremely grateful and honored to be the recipient of this fund which allows us to broaden our research into neurologic music therapy and rehabilitation for patients with Parkinson's disease. We never met Charleen while she was still alive, but we have met her husband, Donald L. Flood, Col. USAF (Ret), and children who carry her legacy forward in beautiful and powerful ways. They are a truly remarkable family. We hope that more people will feel inspired by the Flood family's gift and donate into the fund. That is the expressed hope of Don Flood who wants to see their gift as a seed that continues to grow," says Michael Thaut, Center Director and Co-Executive Director, School of the Arts. Read more
