Progress that won’t slow, Connections that won’t break
The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant challenge, but the brain tumor community is no stranger to adversity. As we persevere through these difficult times, we can remain committed to our collective mission, care for one another, and unite as a community that supports each other.
This May, during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, we invite you to join us for one or more of our regional virtual events, take action to advance our policy agenda with Congress through the first-ever virtual Head to the Hill advocacy day, or access any of our NBTS patient and care partner education and support services. We’ll also be offering a “DIY fundraising toolkit” so you can unite your local community for a virtual event of your choosing in support of our shared mission, all while staying safe, healthy, and following physical distancing guidelines. Stay tuned for more information on all the ways we can get together, support each other, and persevere through these challenging times while staying on track to meet our shared goal of curing brain tumors.

Upcoming Regional Virtual Events
We often say that the National Brain Tumor Society is powered by people. This has never been more true than right now. Join us for an upcoming regional virtual event to honor, remember, and support all those that have been impacted by brain tumors while raising money to conquer and cure brain tumors once and for all.
NBTS remains fiercely committed to delivering our mission to unrelentingly invest in, mobilize, and unite our community to discover a cure, deliver effective treatments, and advocate for patients and caregivers. We are not going to let COVID-19 slow or stop us from carrying out our vital work in support of the brain tumor community.

Take Action
Help Protect Brain Tumor Patients and Health Care Providers
The health and safety of the brain tumor community is our top priority. Take action now and join fellow advocates from NBTS and the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) in advocating for the safety and well-being of the brave health care workers on the front lines, and the brain tumor patients they treat, by urging the government to address the severe shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
If you also have time, please consider taking this survey being conducted by SNO and our friends at the International Brain Tumor Alliance on brain tumor patient care and COVID-19.
