Heart of The Brain corporate sponsors generously cover our operating costs. Therefore, 100% of your personal donations support the life-changing research happening at UCLA’s the Brain Tumor Center which supports our goal of treating and finding a cure for brain cancer.

Under the co-direction of Dr. Linda Liau and Dr. Timothy Cloughesy, the UCLA Brain Tumor Center is part of a prestigious network of scientists, researchers and physicians who share the same goal: Delivering the best available treatments, while also working towards a cure. In 2017, UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UCLA Brain Tumor Center were designated a Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) by the National Cancer Institute, making it one of only six brain cancer programs in the nation to receive this recognition.

The SPORE grant provides $11.4 million over a five year period. Heart of the Brain’s goal is to donate $5 million by June 2024.

We are a young and emerging non-profit foundation with a big heart and an even bigger goal. Together we can make a difference and help support the doctors who work hard on behalf of patients to find a cure. Every dollar brings us one step closer and we are very grateful for the help of each and every one of you!
