For everyone with a brain tumor, it’s time for a better chance

Make an Impact on DAF Day

On October 8, donors across the country will come together to celebrate generosity through donor-advised funds (DAFs). Turn intention into action and help maximize your giving on DAF Day as you join a movement of people passionate about ending brain tumors — once and for all.

Between October 8 and October 31, every DAF gift made will be matched, up to $20,000, thanks to the Gordon Family Charitable Trust DAF grant. That means that you can double the impact you make through your DAF to advance cutting-edge research, advocacy, and direct support and navigation for people living with brain tumors and their families.

Every brain tumor experience is unique, and every patient deserves a better chance at survival, a better chance at an adequate quality of life, and the best information available to understand options and make choices for their treatment. With resources from our MyTumorID public health campaign, learn how biomarker testing and clinical trials can help you make informed decisions about your or your loved one’s care.

LEARN MORE

Biomarker testing is a way for your doctors to gather as much information as possible about your tumor.

Your biomarker testing results can help shed light on treatment options that may be available to you, including clinical trials.

When you know your tumor’s biomarkers and your treatment options, you can make informed decisions about what to do next. Discuss tumor ID options with your doctor to learn more.
