Together, we can make a difference in the fight against brain tumors.

Today, nearly 700,000 people in the United States are living with a primary brain tumor. In 2017 alone, an estimated 3,500 new cases in the Tri-State area of MD, DC & VA, will be reported. The need for a cure is critical. We thank you for helping us get one step closer!

Funds raised through every National Brain Tumor Society event allow us to:

• Drive groundbreaking research initiatives aimed at creating new therapies for both adult and pediatric brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and oligodendrogliomas, as quickly as possible.
• Empower the brain tumor community to advocate for vital government programs and policies to strengthen research and improve access to essential health care services.
• On average 80% of every dollar is invested back in to our mission.

The Need for a Cure is Critical:

• Brain tumors strike men, women, and children of any race, and at any age.
• Brain tumors are the number one cancer killer of children under 19.
• Brain tumors cannot be prevented, and no cure exists today.
