Kids can’t fight cancer alone. We assist families of children diagnosed with DIPG & other Pediatric Brain Cancers by providing financial support to help with medical costs or general living expenses as well as networking resources          for treatment options.

Our Mission: The mission of the Team Buddy Forever Foundation is to fund awareness, advocacy and treatment research of pediatric  brain cancers, while assisting families of children diagnosed with DIPG with the necessary financial support and networking resources for treatment options during this traumatic period.

How We Help: An estimated 35 percent of families battling pediatric brain cancer will file for bankruptcy as a result of medical costs, travel expenses and the potential loss of income by family members during treatment. We are committed to reducing these financial hardships by assisting with the following: Mortgage and/or rent payments / Auto payments / Utilities / Food cards /  Fuel cards / Travel expenses to and from treatments.

Why We Help: Brain tumors remain the most common cause of cancer-related death in children, and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is the leading cause of death from pediatric brain tumors. Only four percent of cancer research funding is allocated toward childhood cancers and, of that, only one percent is spent on DIPG research.
