THIS YEAR, 300 KIDS WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH AN INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR.
Only 6 of those kids will survive the next 5 years unless we act fast to find the cure for childhood brain cancer.
Maybe it sounds impossible to you, but we have a plan and so far, it’s working.
A huge thank you to our matching sponsors!

WHAT IS GIVING FIRST?
Many charities participate in Giving Tuesday, a national fundraising campaign that follows Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. For too long, charities have been an afterthought, tossed whatever pennies are left over after a weekend of spending.
As brain cancer families, we’re used to only getting leftovers. Childhood cancers receive less than 6% of the cancer research budget.
But our children deserve more than leftovers.
That’s why we launched Giving First- a month long fundraiser for brain cancer research and a reminder that childhood cancer research relies on the support of people like you.
WE'RE NOT FIGHTING ALONE. WE HAVE A COMMUNITY OF FAMILIES BEHIND US.
We are not just another cancer charity. We are an international community of brain cancer families, teaming up with the world's leading childhood brain cancer experts to forge a new path toward the cure.
Our one and only priority is to find the cure so that one day, no family will have to lose their child to brain cancer.
