JULY 2021 NEWS & EVENTS

On July 21 we mark Glioblastoma (GBM) Awareness Day, shining a light on the most common, complex, treatment-resistant, and deadliest type of brain cancer. We also welcome four new board members who bolster our organization’s diversity, experience, and insights.

Thank Your Senators for Supporting GBM Awareness Day

Members of Congress have already been taking action and demonstrating outstanding leadership to recognize the importance of shining a light on GBM.

Thank your Senators for supporting the resolution, and please encourage your House Representative to join this bipartisan effort to recognize GBM Awareness Day.
