Get Involved

There are many ways to be involved with the American Brain Tumor Association and the brain tumor community. Through actions large or small, you can make a difference in the lives of brain tumor patients and their caregivers, starting today!  We have listed a few examples below and you can use the links on the left-hand side of this screen to learn more.

 

Advocacy Information

Learn more about important brain tumor and health care legislation, initiatives and information, including the Affordable Care Act.

 

Donate

Make a donation today and support our research funding and patient service programs - and remember, no amount is too small to make a difference in the lives of thousands.  In our Financial Information section you can also learn more about the ABTA's financial health, charity rankings, and gift receipting and designation policies.

Join our new Care Campaign, an online fundraising platform just like our Breakthrough walkers and runners use to reach their event goals.  By joining our Care Campaign, you will be able to use the power of online fundraising to create a personalized Care webpage with your story, photos, video, or even a blog, to share via email with friends and family.  In just a few clicks, you will be providing others with a place and an opportunity to show they care too.  Many create Care webpages for wedding donations, birthday celebrations, tributes in lieu of flowers, or to annually honor a loved one. Come back soon for the unveiling of our new Care Campaign website!

Each person’s story is unique, but we stand united in our fight against brain tumors.  You can share your story and read others experiences by accessing the "Share Your Story" link to the left.
