A BIG HEARTED THANK YOU

Thank you to all the schools, workplaces, and individuals that participated in Go Grey in May! With your help through fun, awareness-raising activities we raised much needed funds for childhood brain cancer: the #1 disease killer of young people.

$7.8 million raised for brain matters

We are powered by many big hearts & brains that volunteer time, money & services. As a result, we’re able to put 100% of tax-deductible donations towards our brain matters projects.

Research

Your donation enables researchers to further understand and better treat brain tumours, including earlier detection, surgery and post-surgery treatments.

Care

Supporting young people with our in-home music therapy program. Programs such as these are emotionally invaluable and provide comfort to both the patient and the family.

Development

Your support will fund the next generation of brain cancer practitioners and researchers through awareness programs, PhD scholarships, and establishing strong global conenctions.
