Brain Tumors Stink!
But you don't have to face them alone.
We created the Gray Matters Foundation Brain Buddies to empower and provide support to patients and families on their brain tumor journey.
Join our Brain Buddies email list and receive monthly newsletter updates, "turtle mail" cards, and stay up to date on what's happening in the brain tumor community! We'll keep you connected to the support, resources, and community you need.
Who are the Brain Buddies?
Brain Buddies are the official support force for the GrayMatters Foundation. They are everyone impacted by brain tumors: patients, survivors, caregivers, family, friends, medical staff, donors, volunteers and anyone who wants to help.
Join the Brain Buddies as:
💜 Survivor or Patient Let's navigate, celebrate and share hope together.
🩷 Caregiver, Doctor, or Medical Staff Let's work together to support patients and their families.
🧡 Friend or Family Member Find community and resources. We're here for you.
💛 Donor or Volunteer You make our work possible. Thank you for your support.
What Happens When You Join
When you sign up, we'll ask a few quick questions so we can send you the right information for your situation. From there, Brain Buddies get:
News and announcements from the Foundation
Event invitations and community updates
For patients (optional): the chance to be included in our care package and card program, where we send encouragement directly to those in treatment
Personalized cards and mailers for birthdays, "tumorversaries" and more - because every day is worth celebrating! (only available for those who provide a mailing address)
Caregivers, we especially encourage you to join — it helps us stay in touch with you and gives us a way to reach a patient if they're ever unable to communicate with us directly.
Curious about how we use your information? See our Privacy Policy and visit our FAQ page for more details on our gifting process.
