Santa Barbara, Calif. – 2025 July 8 – Michael Flowers, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, and pharmaceutical executive with Celltrion USA, has joined the Board of Directors of Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for terminally-ill adults.

Flowers joined the Foundation’s Dreams for Veterans Advisory Council in January and will continue to work closely with the organization’s Dreams for Veterans program, raising awareness about veterans’ needs, concerns, and Dreams as they face the end of life.
