More than $500,000 Raised in December!

Through the participation of thousands of donors, the National Brain Tumor Society has had its most successful year-end fundraising drive in recent history, raising more than $500,000 in the month of December in support of our mission critical research and advocacy programming! Many thanks to all of the donors who made this amazing feat possible, and to all of those who give throughout the year, who donate time by volunteering at our events and as advocates, and invest a part of themselves in helping us communicate our impact with every conversation they have. Without members of the entire community providing support in their own unique ways, none of the progress we have collectively made would be possible!

For more information on the year end campaign or to learn about ways to engage with NBTS, contact Michael Accardi at maccardi@braintumor.org. Thank you, and three cheers to a 2016 full of hope and progress!!!
