Mission: To find less toxic, more effective treatments and a cure for children battling pediatric brain tumors by accelerating the pace of targeted scientific research. We are a catalyst for individuals and corporations to initiate fundraising projects to support these scientific efforts and to stimulate interest in this orphan disease. We create opportunities for clinicians and researchers to apply for grant funding for start-up, as well as follow through projects.

Results: We have raised $13 million in the past 7 years for targeted pediatric brain tumor research. Awarded 44 basic science and translational research grants at 23 different international medical institutions. Funded 3 national clinical trials and sponsored 8 international conferences for a multi-disciplinary group of medical experts to convene and collaborate and create a strategic direction for the most promising pediatric brain tumor research.

Target demographics: Anyone who has or cares for children or anyone who knows someone who battled/is battling cancer.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Help us find less toxic treatments and a cure by making a donation to ensure that we can continue to fund current pediatric brain tumor research and clinical trials.

Geographic areas served: United States

Programs: Children should fight for their dreams, NOT for their lives.
