About Meet Hope Head On 

Because of the generous support from people like you, the ABTA has given over $35 million for brain tumor research. The ABTA’s campaign, Meet Hope Head On,” created for our 50th anniversary, is focused on raising $50 million, in part to fund critical brain tumor research. This campaign is vital for continuing the kind of work that led to the recent FDA approval of vorasidenib, a breakthrough treatment for low-grade glioma.
