Grant announcement: Hope and care for brain tumour families
We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a $15,000 grant from TD Securities’ Underwriting Hope fund. This employee-led grant underscores the power of community-driven support in addressing the devastating impact of brain tumours.
Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children under 20, with one in three children diagnosed ultimately losing their battle. This grant will fuel our commitment to changing that reality, while supporting families navigating the challenges of a brain tumour diagnosis.
The funds will directly benefit our BrainWAVE/GOcervo program, a lifeline for more than 100 families annually. This vital program provides family-oriented events, education, and support to help children and their families feel less alone in their journey. From creating moments of joy through shared experiences to equipping families with essential resources, BrainWAVE/GOcervo aims to be a source of strength and community.
The grant will enable us to expand and enhance BrainWAVE/GOcervo in impactful ways:
- Comprehensive evaluation strategies to improve the program’s reach and outcomes.
- A national awareness campaign to spotlight the realities of living with a brain tumour and the resources available.
- An alumni program to foster long-term connections and support for families who have been part of the BrainWAVE/GOcervo community.
Together, with the generosity of initiatives like Underwriting Hope, we are steadfast in our mission to bring hope to families, advance awareness, and work toward a world without brain tumours.
