WHAT DOES YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT MEAN?
All funds raised raised at the Summer Soiree will go to the Children's Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium (CBTTC). CBTTC is a collaborative, multi-institutional research program dedicated to the study and treatment of childhood brain tumors. The mission of the CBTTC is to find cures and improve treatments for children diagnosed with brain tumors. To achieve this mission, the CBTTC collects high quality brain tumor biospecimens and associated clinical data to facilitate the genomic analysis of biospecimens. The CBTTC has established a collaborative, multi-institutional tissue and data repository to enable the collection and analysis of the specimens.
Both Children's National Medical Center and Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago are members of the CBTTC. The Lilabean Foundation and the Winning With Wyatt Foundation are happy to be collaborating to support the efforts of the CBTTC.
