Our Work

Our work focuses on identifying projects that are dedicated to overcoming and abating pediatric brain cancer. To do this, IFF partners with, or supports, research labs at leading hospitals and universities around the country focused on the development of new therapeutic methodologies and treatments for pediatric brain tumors. IFF’s work is also focused on bringing public awareness to the severity of pediatric brain tumors and raises the funds so desperately needed to sponsor research.
