Get Involved
The BTTC, like many research organizations, relies heavily on public contributions
and donations to conduct and pursue its state-of-the-art
clinical trials
. Fundraising is BTTC's lifeblood. This is where you can
get involved. Begin by visiting the Head
for the Cure Foundation, BTTC's
supporting partner. The Head for the Cure Foundation's signature event, the annual 5k Run & Walk, continues to grow and in 2009 drew 3,500 runners and walkers, a 46 percent increase from 2008.
Fundraising Opportunities
The Head for the Cure Foundation was established in 2003 in memory of
Chris Anthony, who fought a two-and-a-half-year battle with a
glioblastoma
brain tumor. Head for the Cure benefits the Chris Anthony Brain Tumor Research
Fund at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, which subsequently provides funding
for the BTTC.
