Northside Hospital leads the nation in maternity care, and we’re especially proud to have them by our side for this event. Their commitment to families' health and well-being goes far beyond the hospital, through compassionate care, personal guidance, education, and outreach programs that make a difference across our region. We’re honored to have Northside standing with us in the fight against pediatric brain tumors and helping us make an even greater impact for children and families.

This is why IFF exists.

Brain and CNS cancers are the #1 cause of cancer death in children. 42 families hear those words every single day. And yet childhood cancer research receives just 3% of the National Cancer Institute's budget.

We refuse to accept that.

Every dollar raised through Ian's Friends Foundation goes directly to changing these numbers, for the children and every family who deserves better than the odds they've been given.

This month and every month.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Every day, children and families receive news that changes everything. A diagnosis. A fight they didn't choose. A journey no family should have to take alone.

At Ian's Friends Foundation, this is why we show up every month, every year, funding the research that gives those families hope and bringing the brightest minds together to find a cure.

You've seen us mention the WhatIFF Symposium. But what is it?

Every year, IFF brings together the brightest minds in pediatric brain tumor research, not to compete, but to collaborate. To sit in a room together and ask: What IF we could find a cure?

That question has already led to a clinical trial that wouldn't exist without this gathering.

This is why we fight. This is how breakthroughs begin.
