American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) today announced a new partnership with the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation (SBTF) to accelerate brain tumor research. Through this partnership, the Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation will invest $50,000 in the ABTA research program to fund one glioblastoma immunotherapy research project.
The ABTA’s largest nationwide fundraiser, Breakthrough for Brain Tumors 5K (BT5K) Run & Walk events, are moving to more flexible events, where anyone, anywhere can participate.
ABTA’s partner, the Sontag Foundation, has established the COVID-19 Emergency Patient Assistance Fund, which provides financial support to patients affected with a brain tumor diagnosis or their caregivers who have been impacted by COVID-19. Applications are now being accepted.
The sudden emergency of COVID-19 and a brain tumor recurrence has dramatically impacted Brandon Starkoff, ABTA advocate, volunteer and Board of Director member. Learn how he’s managing his second diagnosis during a pandemic.
