Charles M. McCurdy
This fund was established by Judith McCurdy Altenhoff in memory of her husband, Charles M. McCurdy, in 2006 to support perinatal research toward finding a better diagnosis and treatment for infectious diseases, by supplementing the tools, assistance and other requirements of leading edge researchers. This fund also honors the first father/son (1961/1984) graduates of the University of Florida Medical School, forever linking the McCurdy name with the University of Florida’s College of Medicine.
