OUR MISSION
The Perricelli Hope Foundation is an non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CBTTC). Pediatric brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children ages 14 and under and 4,600 children ae diagnosed annually in the United States with brain tumors. However, less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s research investments are spent on childhood cancer. As a result, first line chemotherapy is the most common form of treatment for pediatric brain tumors.
The Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium (CBTTC) is a collaborative, multi-institutional research program that currently consists of 15 of the world’s leading children’s hospitals and is dedicated to the study and treatment of childhood brain tumors. The CBTTC supports the research of new prognostic biomarkers and therapies for children with pediatric brain tumors. As part of this research effort, the CBTTC has developed a network of informatics and data applications which allow researchers from across the world to work together to discover cures for this terrible disease.
