The KRF supports collaborative cancer and brain tumor research through the 16 worldwide research institutions.
The Kortney Rose Foundation (KRF) will be hosting a number of fundraising events on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24, including one event in Marlton, to raise money in support of research initiatives related to pediatric brain tumors.
This event marks the foundation’s 10th annual “Great Food for a Great Cause” fundraiser, held in conjunction with The Turning Point Organization.
The Marlton event will take place from 8 to 3 p.m. on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24 at the Turning Point in Marlton, located at 300 Route 73.
The KRF supports collaborative research through the 16 worldwide research institutions.
The KRF works collaboratively through the Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium, supports neuro-oncology program growth at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and is a primary funder of the Open DIPG Program.
KRF officials say the Open DIPG program is the largest project ever done on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, which officials cite as the deadliest form of pediatric brain cancer.
During the next two years, the foundation will also be funding a project that is taking the science involved in the first immunotherapy cure for one type of pediatric Leukemia and studying it in brain tumors.
