SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pediatric Brain Foundation, under the directorship of Rochette Dahler, founder of Little Sunshine's Playhouse & Preschool, has awarded $50,000 to the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. This donation will support the work of Evan Y. Snyder, M.D, Ph.D., FAAP, a professor at the Institute in the Sanford Children's Health Research Center.

The intent is to use these funds to carry on the missions of the Pediatric Brain Foundation and Children's Neurobiological Solutions in terms of supporting the work of many investigators who are devoted to understanding and optimizing the function of the young nervous system.
