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.
With the reigniting of the White House’s Cancer Moonshot Initiative, the ABTA recently joined the Brain Cancers Forum in Washington, D.C., to discuss opportunities in discovering treatments for brain cancers, including GBM.

Always free for patients & caregivers
The need for better brain tumor treatments and more help for patients is greater than ever. Brain tumors are still very hard to treat because of something called the blood-brain barrier, which makes it tough for medicine to reach the tumor. Brain tumor patients need more options.
That’s why we’re meeting hope head on—because donations lead to research, research leads to better treatments, and better treatments bring us closer to a cure.
