Tumor Troopers in Action
Meet Collins Dixon, a young brain tumor survivor and BTFC's newest Tumor Trooper in Action.

Thanks to Collins (seen here with the BTFC staff) and everyone who purchased magnets.

Established in 1983 in Atlanta, GA, the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children was the first non-profit organization in the United States to focus on pediatric brain tumor disease. The Foundation's mission is: "To provide financial assistance, social support, and information for families of children with brain and spinal cord tumors; fund research projects that improve treatment options and search for a cure; and raise public awareness of the disease and advocate on behalf of children who are affected." BTFC serves children and families throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Our south Florida chapter, Christina's Kidz, is dedicated to helping Florida families.
