The Children's Brain Tumor Foundation's (CBTF) mission is to improve the quality of life of the children affected with brain and spinal cord tumors and to provide support to their families.

For the third year in a row, a group of my favorite+fabulous friends, including Jessica Brittain, Tony D'Andraia, Ritu Bala Sharma, Sujeeta Sippy, Mandy Gor, Agnes Jamora, Ben Byrd, Maria Zoccoli and I will be bowling for the cause on May 3rd, 2012 with our team SUGARBOWL and your support will be highly appreciated.

Last year we raised over $3,500 so we are counting on your generosity to repeat (and exceed) history!!!

The CBTF is a cause very dear to my heart as one of my best friends from College, Akiva, was diagnosed with a brain tumor six years ago that was characterized as inoperable. Akiva was lucky to find a doctor that would perform the risky surgery to remove the tumor and today is well, healthy and happy. Not everybody is as lucky and that is why we need your support so the CBTF can continue its mission to improve the treatment, quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumors through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors.

So – it would be FANTASTIC if you can help us support the CBTF’s efforts.

Every bit helps so donations of any size are welcome! ($5, $20, $100 or $1,000,000 – anything!). All donations are tax-deductible.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support!!! -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate as well!

Our Sincerest Thanks,

THE SUGARBOWL TEAM - Claudia Barrera, Jessica Brittain, Tony D'Andraia, Ritu Bala Sharma, Sujeeta Sippy, Mandy Gor, Ben Byrd, Maria Zoccoli and Agnes Jamora.
