Oligo Nation

Directions Website Contact the organization

OligoNation is dedicated to helping Oligo families get involved and help themselves and others by fundraising to support research.

Oligo Nation is the community of Oligodenroglioma brain tumor survivors committed to raising money and awareness for medical research to develop effective treatments and eventually a cure. Five years ago, funding for research on Oligodendroglioma was non-existent. In the past few years, we have started to move the needle—we have made 5 grants so far and will announce 5 more in the January 2018. But we need your help to identify and accelerate new, more effective treatments.
