Al's Comment:
These brain tumor research grants bring our 2023 total to fourteen projects funded for a total of $298,035! Our copayment assistance program was a huge success also - so far this year we awarded grants of up to $5,000 each to 267 patients for a total of $1,330,000! Patients are allocated $5,000 each and can use up to that $5,000 in assistance in a 1 year period. if they do not use it all up at the end of the 12 month period, we recycle the unused funds to help other patients. For most of these patients, they would not be able to get their treatments without our help. This is truly a life saving program!
