On February 18, 2012 (Minneapolis, MN) at its third annual Mardi Gras Gala the Child Neurology Foundation (CNF) announced that it has named Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as the recipient of its first-ever Corporate Citizenship Award. Steve Cartt, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer for Questcor, accepted the Corporate Citizenship Award on behalf of Questcor.

We also feel very strongly about supporting the child neurology community in general and to help advance the cause of research and education.”
