Fundraise Your Way

There are countless ways to honor a loved one or celebrate a milestone while moving the mission forward with NBTS. Create an online fundraiser in just a few clicks, or start planning an in-person event of any kind.

Take Action

Urge your elected officials to fund research and support legislation that prioritizes the brain tumor community. The BRAIN (Bolstering Research And Innovation Now) Act was recently reintroduced in Congress! This landmark piece of legislation — a historic first for the brain tumor community — advances the quest to defeat brain tumors by increasing research funding, fostering collaboration, promoting critical awareness efforts, and supporting innovations in and access to care.

Make a Gift

Your generous gift supports and connects the brain tumor community today while powering the breakthroughs of tomorrow. Consider making an impact all year long with a recurring donation; set up a monthly gift of $25 or more, and we’ll send you a pair of NBTS crew socks.

“With MyTumorID, I Decide.”

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. Our patient navigators are here if you have questions.

A few years ago, NBTS showed us the problem with the low accrual in clinical trials. This led to a joint effort… trying to figure out what we can do to improve trial accrual, looking at things like telemedicine. This is an opportunity for us to reimagine how we can do trials, to do things more efficiently so that we can help our patients better.
