Your Support Makes Our Work Possible

We are reaching out to key partners to encourage their friends, family, and networks to support the important work of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF). By backing an Annual Family Walk for the Cure Team, you can directly impact the lives of children diagnosed with brain and spinal tumors and their families.

Founded in 1988 by a dedicated group of parents, physicians, and friends, CBTF's mission is to enhance the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outcomes for children with brain and spinal cord tumors. In addition to funding research aimed at finding a cure, CBTF leads the nation in programming designed to improve the quality of life for families affected by these conditions.

We offer over 20 online support groups and activities each month, send care kits to newly diagnosed families, provide educational advocacy, and organize unique in-person events across the country. This includes the nation’s only retreat specifically for fathers and survivors, as well as conferences for teen and young adult survivors, allowing them to connect and share their experiences with others who understand.

We are dedicated to supporting families impacted by a brain or spinal cord tumor diagnosis from the moment they reach out to us and throughout their journey, no matter where it leads. Your support makes our work possible. Because of you, families will know they are not alone. Together, we are stronger!
