100% of the funds raised by the Florida Brain Tumor Association are directed to brain tumor research, fundraising, educational programs, seminars and meetings. We are proud that with our help, brain tumor research labs can continue to thrive and we are a part of what we all hope will some day be a cure.
The FBTA provides a safe place to share experiences for both the brain tumor survivor and their families. The opportunity to learn from and help others in a similar situation offers a sense of helpfulness and hope. Support groups have been proven to be an integral part of the healing process. FBTA support groups are available several times a month, are free of charge and are professionally facilitated. We offer emotional support to ease families through the initial shock of diagnosis, helping them cope and directing them to other resources they may need.
