Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada

Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex. They can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance, and mobility. Their effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is the only national charity offering information and support to patients affected by any kind of brain tumour – be it cancerous, non-malignant or metastases.  The organization funds ground-breaking research across North America and, since 1982, has dedicated over $8.2 million to finding a cure and improving treatment for brain tumour survivors.  We also provide vital programs and services for the brain tumour community, including: Support Groups; resources like patient and caregiver Brain Tumour Handbooks, a children’s storybook and Information Sheets; and educational events like our free webinar series. Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is funded solely through generous contributions from individuals, corporations, organizations, employee groups and special events.
