Beginning Sunday, May 23, 2021, at 9 AM Eastern and running until Monday morning, May 24, 2021, the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) is hosting their second annual 24-hour live stream Webathon. Much like the iconic annual Jerry Lewis telethons, the first annual Webathon shared celebrities' and families' appearances and talents ranging from music, comedy, workout routines, art, mixed martial arts, and cooking demos. CBTF shared the stories and talents of over 150 families while raising over $150,000 to support CBTF programs and research to find a cure and eliminate brain tumor treatment's devastating effects. The event was viewed live by hundreds of people across the United States and beyond. The videos were then viewed by hundreds more on the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation YouTube page.

"We're so excited about this event," says CBTF's President, Stacia Wagner. "Last year, we were worried about having enough talent from families, and this year we know we will have more talent than time. Many families talk about the isolation they face when their child is diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor. Sometimes even their own families do not understand. The Webathon will highlight the families and allow them to share their stories." After watching last year, one parent commented, "This was just an incredibly moving, engaging, and thoughtful event. People with far more technical experience would love to be able to accomplish what you did. I had tears in my eyes more than once!"

The Webathon will be hosted live on Zoom and streamed on CBTF's Facebook page. Donations are being accepted now and during the event on the CBTF website. Corporate sponsorships are available by contacting Bridget Davidge at bdavidge@cbtf.org. And for those who would like to share their talent, please contact Kayla Giacin at kgiacin@cbtf.org.

The Webathon will be emceed by CBTF President Stacia Wagner and Chairman Lionel Leventhal, as well as a host of celebrity guest stars and survivors.

This 24-hour Webathin is the perfect wrap-up to May, which is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. The Webathon's goal is to share the talents, stories, and accomplishments of childhood brain tumor families and friends, along with performances by professional entertainers supporting CBTF's efforts. "There are over 4,600 children newly diagnosed with a brain tumor every year. We want to create an awareness of the childhood brain tumor world and while raising funds to make sure no family goes through this journey alone while we work to find a cure," continued Wagner.

CBTF was founded in 1989 by dedicated parents, physicians, and friends and is now the nation's leader in quality of life programs for families with children affected by brain and spinal cord tumors. CBTF supports families from the time of diagnosis and throughout the brain tumor journey. Money raised by CBTF funds vital brain tumor research through the brain tumor tissue network located at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, scholarships, conferences, retreats, and support groups for patients, survivors, and their families.
