We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and a public charity. Our organization was founded in 1995 by a family in search of treatment options for their son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Our primary mission is to fund research which will result in curative treatments for brain tumors. We also provide supportive and safe environments for patients, families, and caregivers to share experiences, learn about current therapies, and receive information about various aspects of a brain tumor diagnosis and treatment through a variety of support group meetings.
The SBTF has proudly awarded over 65 research grants totaling nearly $3M. Our research grant philosophy is to provide seed money which stimulates brain tumor research which will progress and advance in interest; subsequently resulting in human clinical trials which set a new precedence for treatment.
Research advancements don't happen quickly, so ongoing public support of our mission is critical.
Founded in 1995, our organization operates exclusively as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and public charity. The Warshaw Family, through their experience with a brain tumor diagnosis, brought together local families and our reach has grown ever since. The brain tumor diagnosis, which they faced, forever changed how we, as a brain tumor community at large, responded and continue to respond to this diagnosis.
