The Hidden Angel Foundation is proud to support and contribute to the research and work being done around the use of Multi Sensory Stimulation for premature infants within the Neonatal Research Laboratory at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Neonatal Research Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers preterm infants the maternal auditory and tactile vibroacoustic stimulation needed to develop properly.  The ultimate goal of this research project is to improve developmental outcomes in extremely premature infants through the unique application of multisensory stimulation while in the hospital bed.

The Neonatal Research Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers preterm infants the maternal auditory and tactile vibroacoustic stimulation needed to develop properly. The ultimate goal of this research project is to improve developmental outcomes in extremely premature infants through the unique application of multisensory stimulation while in the hospital bed. A total of 25 preterm infants will participate in this study over a 2 year period. BWH will specifically target infants born very prematurely between 25 – 32 weeks gestation as this patient population has the highest risk for developmental problems.

Thanks to the Hidden Angel Foundation, the infants will be exposed to audio recording of their own mother’s voice, heartbeat, and music transmitted to the infant’s incubator via vibroacoustic technology. Vibroacoustic platforms have been developed by HAF to help stimulate individuals with neurological challenges. BWH hypothesizes that this bedside technology will provide infants with a more womb-like environment to grow, providing them with both the audio and vibrational stimulation they need in order to develop normally. This research will collect critically important data that will shed more light about the importance of multisensory stimulation in extremely premature infants and may increase their potential for normal development.

Imagine a child watching their peers running, playing, and enjoying a sunny day while they sit in a wheelchair. Isn’t it our responsibility to help that child to feel included? Imagine what it must be like for individuals with special needs. How much would you pay to be able to interact with your surroundings? Do you know someone with Autism, Alzheimer, developmental disability or other conditions that impact an individual’s ability to interact with the world around them? Help CDHAF bring that ability to individuals with special needs. If each visitor to our site was to donate only $50.00 we would be able to provide permanent facilities to enrich the lives of 50 people with special needs each month.

Toronto, Ontario June 28, 2011 – On Wednesday June 15th, RSM Richter hosted their 14th annual Charity Golf Classic at Rattlesnake Point Golf Club.

The tournament was in support of the Christopher Douglas Hidden Angel Foundation (CDHAF); an organization focused on improving the quality of life for children and adults who are neurologically challenged by using sensory stimulation through the design and creation of Multi Sensory Environment facilities (MSE). The recipients of an MSE facility this year will include the Reena Foundation, Baycrest, and two Toronto area schools that serve children with special needs.

RSM Richter is proud to announce that with the support and dedication of many sponsors, this year’s golf tournament has raised $160,000 for CDHAF.

RSM Richter would like to thank our platinum sponsor Kirchner Private Capital Group as well as the many other generous sponsors of the tournament.

Over the past fourteen years, the RSM Richter Charity Golf Classic has raised over $1.3 in support of health related causes across Ontario.

RSM Richter LLP is the 9th largest independent accounting and business advisory firm in Canada. We are committed to supporting our community and donate to more than 80 Canadian non-profit organizations supporting areas such as education, healthcare the environment and the arts.
