The Young Professionals Group of the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation

Mission Statement

Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1988 by dedicated parents, physicians and friends. Our mission is to improve the treatment, quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors.

Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation’s (CBTF) Survivor Program works with childhood brain and spinal cord tumor survivors across the country. Many survivors face employment and social challenges. As leaders in the community, the CBTF Young Professionals Group (YPG) addresses both of these issues. Through quarterly Survivor ↔YPG events, they work to build a stronger survivor community, serve as mentors, and increase survivors’ connections with the professional community.
