ABTA Announces $50-Million Fundraising Campaign to Accelerate Research, Improve Lives of Brain Tumor Patients

A champion of the brain tumor community for 50 years running, the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) has launched its most ambitious undertaking yet – a five-year, $50-million fundraising campaign called Meet Hope Head On.

The Meet Hope Head On campaign will focus on three pillars: tripling the ABTA’s research investment, doubling the number of patients served, and doubling federal funding for brain tumor research. Throughout its 50-year history, the ABTA has provided vital seed money to fund high-risk, high-reward research grants which have contributed to significant breakthroughs in treating brain tumors by many of the country’s leading researchers.
