Events and Fundraising
Each organization and individual involved is working diligently to raise awareness of brain tumors and implement creative fundraising ideas for brain tumor research.
The Grey Ribbon Crusade is a centralized source for ongoing events connecting people with activities in their area or dear to their heart. We can help bring the Grey Ribbon Crusade to your town. No experience needed!
If you do not have your own not for profit organization, and wish to raise funds while offering your supporters maximum tax benefits provided by a 501c3 charitable organization, we can assist you. Our established 501c3 foundations will ensure that all contributions raised as a result of your efforts are placed into a personalized fund that is 100% dedicated and donated to the charity of your choice for the purpose you intend.

One Step Closer to a Cure!
Ridley Creek 5K Run and Walk
In Memory of Sean Curry
Event Information:
Date: May 12th 2012
Time: Starts at 9am with Registration at 7:30am
Ridley Creek State Park
In early October 2007, Sean unexpectedly had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital. Upon a brain scan, doctors found a brain tumor and had to operate immediately. The doctors removed the tumor which tested positive for Glioblastoma multiform, cancer. The tumor was removed but unfortunately the tentacles had attached to other brain cells. Sean underwent intense radiation and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, Sean passed away on April 26th, 2009. Sean had an infectious personality and many who loved him. Through your support, we can get “One Step Closer to a Cure”! |

May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month As you all know, May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month, and I wanted to make some gear to mark it as such. So, I've created designs for shirts, buttons, magnets, caps, mugs, mousepads, etc. etc. etc. It was originally only intended for our youngest BT warriors and angels, but due to popular demand I've added designs for adult BT warriors and angels, as well. The products are available here: http://cafepress.com/btwallofcourage ... You'll see a link on the main screen for the Adult Gear (it's also available by clicking a link at the bottom of most every other page on the site). There is a special section featuring pictures of over 120 of our youngest BT warriors and angels. There is gear available for Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Survivors (Had/Have a Brain Tumor), Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter, Cousin, Grandmother, Grandfather, Uncle, Aunt, and Friend (boy/girl). I have also included grayribboncrusade.org on all of the gear so that people can go somewhere to learn more. (wallofcourage.com is on the Kids' Gear.) Also, for those interested, proceeds from the sale of these products will be distributed among the following: Jessica C. Randall Memorial Scholarship Fund I hope you all enjoy the gear. I figure I'll be wearing gray all year long!!!! :) ~Heide Visit wallofcourage.com to view a full-size Wall of Courage video from 2008. |
