NBTS joins the brain tumor community in commemorating DIPG Awareness Day on May 17 to spread awareness about this deadly disease and to support researchers in their efforts to find new therapies to treat DIPG and all childhood cancer.
#GrayMay is a time to come together to support the nearly 1 million Americans who are estimated to be living with brain tumors and their care partners who are united by difference — each representing a unique point along the grayscale of the brain tumor experience.
Raise AwarenessCongressional resolutions marking Brain Tumor Awareness Month were first passed by Congress in 2008. NBTS continues to work with our volunteer advocates each year to renew these calls for public awareness of brain tumors and to honor everyone who has faced this disease.
The resolutions serve as a commitment to every family who has lost someone and to every American who receives this frightening diagnosis that Congress continues to support research funding as the best means of advancing knowledge and treatment of all brain tumors.
