Causes: Brain Disorders, Cancer, Health
Mission: The mission of the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children is to provide financial assistance, social support, and information for families of children with brain and spinal cord tumors; fund research projects that improve treatment options and search for a cure; and raise public awareness of the disease and advocate on behalf of children who are affected.
Results: In the 2012 fiscal year (7/1/11 – 6/30/12), we provided $360,000 in emergency financial assistance for 300 families in the southeast through our Butterfly Fund. Since being established in 2000, this one program has provided over $1.8 million in assistance for hundreds of families – helping with items that include rent and utilities, car payments and repairs, gasoline, treatment-related travel expenses, and much more. We will continue to “Help Families Cope, ” as long as needed through this and other programs that are described on our website.
Target demographics: Families of children aged birth through 21 years in the southeast who have brain and spinal cord tumors.
Geographic areas served: Southeast
