Organizations Filed Purposes:
RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDING TO INSPIRE HOPE FOR THE COMMUNITY OF BRAIN CANCER PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, CAREGIVERS AND OTHER SUPPORTERS WHILE CELEBRATING THEIR COURAGE, SPIRIT AND ENERGY.
HEAD FOR THE CURE FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR BRAIN CANCER RESEARCH, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ADVOCACY PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT BRAIN CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
IN 2019, HFTC CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN THE THREE PILLARS OF OUR MISSION: 1) BUILDING AWARENESS; 2) RAISING FUNDS; AND 3) IGNITING HOPE FOR THE COMMUNITY OF BRAIN TUMOR PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, CAREGIVERS, AND LOVED ONES. OUR 5K EVENTS CONTINUED TO FUEL OUR HFTC ENGINE, AS WE SAW A NEARLY 30% GROWTH IN REVENUE AND PARTICIPATION. WE ADDED FIVE NEW RACES AND SAW INCREASES IN PARTICIPATION AND FUNDRAISING IN NEARLY ALL EXISTING MARKETS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THIS ALLOWED US TO GRANT A TOTAL OF $1,329,505, WHICH INCLUDED $688,070 TO 28 DIFFERENT LOCAL BENEFICIARIES, $610,255 TO THE BRAIN TUMOR TRIALS COLLABORATIVE, AND $30,550 TO PARTICIPATING CENTERS IN THE AGENUS CLINICAL TRIAL. OUR STAFF REMAINS DEDICATED TO OUR MISSION AND TO THE PEOPLE WE SERVE BY DEVELOPING IMPACTFUL INITIATIVES, INCLUDING OUR FIRST FULL YEAR OF ENHANCED STRATEGIC ANALYTICS AND THOUGHTFUL AND EFFECTIVE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA. DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ORGANIZE THEIR OWN EVENTS AND FACEBOOK FUNDRAISERS. OUR MEMORIAL PAGES CARRY THE PERSONAL STORIES OF HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND THE AMAZING LIVES THEY LED. OUR PATIENT NAVIGATOR, BRAINS FOR THE CURE, CONTINUES TO SERVE AS A KEY RESOURCE FOR PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS DEALING WITH A BRAIN TUMOR DIAGNOSIS. HFTC AMBASSADORS SHARE NEWS AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, ACTIVATE NEW PARTICIPANTS, CULTIVATE DONORS AND SPONSORS, AND SO MUCH MORE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BRAIN CANCER. WE DEEPENED OUR BENEFICIARY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BRAIN TUMOR TRIALS COLLABORATIVE (BTTC), LOCAL BRAIN TUMOR CLINICS IN OUR 5K MARKETS, AND OTHER BRAIN TUMOR ADVOCACY GROUPS.
