Committed to Funding Research for Children with Brain Cancer

Brain cancer is the deadliest form of cancer among children. Increased research funding is essential to improving survival rates and reducing the harmful side effects of aggressive treatments.

MORE THAN 5,000 CHILDREN A YEAR ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER

Imagine your child is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor... You would want the most effective and safest treatments possible.

But unfortunately, for many families, the realization comes all too quickly that there are limited treatment options available and research for pediatric brain cancer is drastically underfunded.

The Lilabean Foundation is dedicated to funding essential research for childhood brain cancer and raising awareness about the seriousness of this devastating disease. As of 2024, LBF has raised over $6 million to support cutting-edge research and clinical trials, offering hope to children and families confronting these diagnoses.

"AS A FATHER WHO LOST A CHILD TO A BRAIN TUMOR IT MAKES ME VERY PROUD TO BE AT THE EPICENTER OF FIGHTING THIS DISEASE. WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I KNOW MY SON IS PROUD."

- JOHN-PAUL PURSSORD, PRESIDENT LBF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
