Every dollar matters. Every hour matters. Every person like YOU matters.
Brain tumors are heavy. We work to make the journey a little lighter — one care package, one sticker card, one shoulder to lean on at a time. Your donation keeps that going.
Every Dollar Matters
Whether it is big or small, every donation amount makes an impact. $10 mails a small package to a patient mid-treatment. $20 covers a book of postage stamps for our sticker cards. $50 helps stock a hospital room with something bright. We know many of you have loved ones affected by brain tumors, and donations can be made in honor or in memory of someone special to you.
Every dollar fuels our mission to:
Deliver Kindness(opens in new tab)
Sticker cards, care packages, decorated hospital rooms, and goodies that say someone sees you.
Spread Awareness(opens in new tab)
Events, flyers, and brochures that get brain tumors talked about — in doctor's offices and beyond.
Ongoing Support(opens in new tab)
We run the monthly in-person support group at Barrow Neurological Institute and Gray Matters online groups for patients everywhere.
Advocate for Others(opens in new tab)
We're in your corner. We help the newly diagnosed navigate a healthcare system that can feel impossible.
