Give Hope, Defeat DIPG: Every Dollar Brings Us Closer to a Cure

Your Donations are Doubled November 19 - December 3!

DIPG is one of the most devastating pediatric brain tumors, leaving families with little hope and few options. ChadTough Defeat DIPG is committed to changing this reality, investing in research that aims to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for this relentless disease. By joining us on Giving Tuesday, you are helping to create hope for future families who may face a DIPG diagnosis—hope that one day no parent will hear there are no viable options for their child.

The progress we’ve made is only possible because of supporters like you. With every dollar given, researchers can pursue new ideas, explore groundbreaking therapies, and accelerate clinical trials that bring us closer to defeating DIPG. Your support on Giving Tuesday isn’t just a donation—it’s a statement that these children deserve more than a few months to live and that their lives matter. Together, we can turn heartbreak into hope.

Our matching donors have committed to matching all donations November 19-December 3, 2024, up to $250,000, to help us accelerate our path to a cure. Meaning, every $1 you donate will be worth $2! Double your impact by donating today.

Help us change the facts by starting a fundraiser.

The average lifespan for children diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. In recent years, promising treatment options have increased survival for many children faced with DIPG, but more research is needed to continue on this positive trajectory. With more funding, there is hope to find a cure in our lifetime.
