The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation leads the way in funding research into pediatric brain tumors, supporting families affected by this disease, and advocating for policies that help patients, survivors, and their loved ones. Dedicated wholly to addressing this rare disease and guided by the experiences of patients, survivors, their parents, and siblings, we're the only organization to meet famil

ies’ needs along every step of their cancer journey. The largest patient advocacy funder of pediatric brain tumor research, the foundation also funds and advocates for innovative projects that lead to vital discoveries, new clinical trials, and better treatments – all bringing us closer to a cure. We’re able to do that because of people and partners committed to supporting families and ending childhood brain cancer. en español:

Missed our 2026–2027 research funding webinar? You can now watch it on demand.

This year, PBTF is launching a new approach to research funding — one where data and technology are no longer add-ons, but the foundation of every funded project. Led by Misha Mehta, PhD (PBTF) and David Higgins, PhD (CHOP), the webinar covers everything you need to know before the September 18th Letter of Intent deadline, including the three award mechanisms, reviewer scoring criteria, and technology integration requirements.

Your voice can change how Congress sees pediatric brain cancer.

Join advocates from across the country for PBTF's Virtual Days of Action on September 22–23, as we meet directly with Members of Congress to advocate for kids and families facing pediatric brain tumors. We're pushing for three critical priorities: cosponsoring Kylie's Voices for Childhood Cancer Act, cosponsoring the Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act, and protecting pediatric brain tumor research funding. No experience needed—our team will prepare your materials and support you every step of the way.

Register at curethekids.org/virtual-action-days and show Congress that these kids have a community that continues to ensure that they're prioritized.

When your child is diagnosed with a brain tumor, life becomes a whirlwind of appointments, decisions, and worry — and it's easy to put your own well-being in the backseat while you focus everything on them. But here's the truth: caring for yourself is essential. When you protect your own physical and emotional health, you're better equipped to show up for your child and your family, day after day, through the toughest moments and the hopeful ones.

As continues, we're sharing some simple self-care tips to help you find small moments of relief amid the chaos. And most importantly, we want you to know that you are never alone on this journey. If you're navigating a recent diagnosis, you can download our free Newly Diagnosed Resource Guidebook (The Starfolio) at curethekids.org/starfolio.

Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children — and the research we fund today determines the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

Join us on August 19th at 12pm EST for our 2026–2027 Research Funding pre-application webinar. This year, we're raising the bar: every funded project must contribute to a shared, reusable research ecosystem, with data strategy and AI/ML integration at its core.

By attending, you'll learn:
• The new Idea, Impact, and Innovation award mechanisms
• How proposals are reviewed and scored
• How to leverage dbGaP, CBTN, and the broader pediatric brain tumor data ecosystem

Your expertise, your research, and your commitment could be the breakthrough a family is waiting for. Register today at curethekids.org/webinar

Today is — a day to recognize the organizations doing the hard, necessary work that makes the world a better place. For 35 years, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation has been serving children and families facing a brain tumor diagnosis. As the only national nonprofit dedicated solely to this cause, PBTF has funded $60 million in research, provided $6.5 million in direct financial relief, and connected thousands of families to life-changing support — including early funding that helped bring OJEMDA™, the first FDA-approved treatment for pediatric low-grade gliomas, to the children who needed it most.

None of this progress happens without the champions who show up for our families. Will you be one of them today? Give $35 — a dollar for every year — to help carry this mission forward: curethekids.org/give

As our Sibling Space: Summer Art Drop-in comes to the end this session, we're celebrating the incredible kids who joined us over the past several weeks to create, share, laugh, and connect with one another. Every child deserves a place where they feel seen, heard, and valued—and this summer, they found exactly that. From heartfelt conversations to joyful activities, we're grateful to be part of your journey.

Thank you to every sibling and family who joined us this summer. If you missed this session, don't worry—we're already planning future Sibling Space opportunities and hope to offer another group this fall. Stay tuned for more details. We can't wait to welcome even more siblings into this community.

Over 570,000 miles logged—and counting! Thank you to every rider who has made their miles count in this year’s REVER Million Mile Challenge. Every mile recorded in the REVER app helps generate vital funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, supporting kids with brain tumors and the families who love them.

We’re halfway to 1 million miles—don’t miss your chance to be part of it. Sign up today at https://a.rever.co/challenges/1249

None of this would be possible without the incredible generosity of our corporate partners. A heartfelt thank you to REVER, RevZilla, Cycle Gear, J&P Cycles, Alpinestars, Biltwell Inc., Cardo Systems, and PirelliMoto for their continued commitment and helping riders put their miles to mission.

More than 42,000 children in the U.S. are living with a brain tumor diagnosis — and most are being treated with drugs developed decades ago for adults, many too toxic for a child's developing brain. This is not acceptable. At the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, we fund the research that will change that. Scientists like Dr. Joelle Straehla are engineering microscopic delivery systems designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and reach tumors that were once considered untreatable.

These kids deserve better treatments. They deserve a fighting chance. If you believe the same, we invite you to support the research that will get us there: curethekids.org/give

August is — a reminder that your wellbeing matters too. The pediatric brain tumor journey can be all-consuming for the whole family, and self-care often takes a back seat. But caring for yourself is just as important as caring for those you love.

This month, give yourself permission to manage stress in small ways, find moments of peace, and hold onto the little things that bring you joy.

You don't have to carry this alone. PBTF is here with resources, community, and a dedicated family support team ready to help ease the burden. Your wellbeing matters — and we're here for you every step of the way.
