When people choose to support the American Brain Tumor Association, they are doing more than making a gift; they are helping move progress forward for patients, caregivers, and families facing one of life’s most difficult diagnoses. Every act of generosity creates momentum.
In this inaugural development newsletter, we are highlighting the many ways support makes an impact. ABTA Board member Nathan Musgrove shares his perspective on the power of giving and why philanthropy remains essential to advancing our mission. This issue also highlights the impact of ABTA’s 2025 research investments and how donor support is helping fuel innovation, expand scientific understanding, and shape the future of brain tumor care.
A Q+A with one of our planned giving donors offers a personal perspective on creating a legacy that extends beyond today. Their generosity reflects something powerful: a belief that future patients and families deserve more hope, more answers, and more possibilities than ever before.
Progress in the brain tumor community does not happen alone. It happens because of people like you: donors, advocates, researchers, volunteers, patients, caregivers, and partners who choose to invest in what’s possible. Thank you for being part of this work and for helping ensure ABTA remains a trusted resource for years to come.
Together, we continue to fuel the fight and fund the future.
With gratitude,
Kelly Sitkin
President & CEO
American Brain Tumor Association
