Children's Brain Tumor Foundation

🧠 Behind every number is a name, a story, a family. This May, we honor each one by raising awareness and standing with our community. #GoGrayInMay

🧠 Going Gray in May is about more than awareness—it’s about showing teens, young adults, and families facing brain tumors that they’re seen, supported, and never alone.

Together, we’re raising voices, building community, and creating change that lasts long after May ends 🩶 #GoGrayInMay

🧠 Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. It’s most often diagnosed between ages 3–8. Behind every number is a child who deserves more time, more care, and more hope. 🎗️

#GoGrayInMay #CBTF #MoreThanAStatistic

🧠 Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in kids and teens ages 0–19 in the US.

This is more than a number, it’s a heartbreaking reality for thousands of families.

Join us this May as we fight for more research, more support, more hope 🩶 #GoGray

📊 Awareness starts with numbers—but numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Behind each one is a child with dreams, a teen facing uncertainty, and a young adult fighting for their future. This month, we remember who we’re fighting for.
