The Brooke Healey Foundation builds awareness and raises funds for research in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG); helps families dealing with pediatric cancers, especially brain cancers and DIPG; fosters community relationships and promotes involvement through scholarships awarded to civically active students.

The Foundation exists in honor of 5-year-old Brooke Healey, daughter of Steve and Stefani, who was diagnosed with DIPG, an inoperable, very aggressive tumor in the middle of the brain stem (the Pons), on January 14, 2013. She passed away on September 9, 2013. DIPG only affects children. There is no cure and few treatment options. We exist to change these facts and help families along the way.

We are a Foundational Partner of the DIPG/DMG Collaborative — a collection of foundations with the common interest of supporting DIPG research. The Collaborative has funded nearly $12M in DIPG research so far.  Experts in the field believe finding a cure for DIPG will result in a “home run cure” for all cancers.

The Foundation is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit governed by a Board of Trustees, supported  by various committee leaders and volunteers.Caring 'Til It's CURED!
