At the Brain & Co Foundation, we are dedicated to securing more funding for extensive research and improved treatments for brain tumors in both adults and children.
The name Brain & Co
The name Brain & Co was chosen to appeal to a broader audience and to strengthen the focus on brain tumors, aiming to garner more support and engagement, particularly from potential supporters, donors, and stakeholders who wish to contribute to the fight against brain tumors.
