Thank You for Going Gray in May

CBTF’s Fifth Annual May Matters Webathon

May 5th, 2024 | 12PM-6PM EDT on Zoom

Every May, the brain tumor community comes together to empower and support families affected by a brain tumor diagnosis. It is a time for us to shed light on this rare yet devastating disease, which profoundly impacts families year after year. We invite you to stand with us, recognizing that no family should face this journey alone.

The May Matters Webathon serves as a tribute to the resilience, stories, and talents within our community. May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month, and since 2020, CBTF has convened via Zoom to honor, remember, and celebrate the families and friends who contribute to our unique support network. This event will be a day brimming with narratives, activities, live music, interviews, and more.
