To honor the memory of TIGHITCO Founder, Chairman, and CEO Jerry Zucker, team Tikkun Olam was formed. Mr. Zucker, a friend and colleague passed away from a brain tumor in 2008.
Since our formation in 2009, team Tikkun Olam has raised over $195,000!!!
Our fundraising success could not have been possible without your support. We ask you to again consider joining our fundraising efforts.
The team is again being led by Peter Nicholas who is a brain tumor survivor and has been a member of the SBTF Board of Directors since 2010. Peter spends much of his free time working with patients and researchers to ensure to ensure the mission of the Foundation is being carried out. He tell us "Through the efforts of the SBTF and the research funded to date along with many committed researchers,we are moving closer to achieving meaningful improvements in the quality of life and possibly finding a cure in the not too distant future".
‘TIKKUN OLAM’ means 'repairing the world'. You can help us repair the world by registering to participate in this years event or by making a donation.
Please help raise monies in support of brain tumor research and remember, your support provides HOPE for those diagnosed with a brain tumor!
Thank you!
Welcome to our team page! We are participating in the Race For Research at Atlantic Station near downtown Atlanta. GA. It's a 5K run, 1K fun-run/walk and a fundraising event that raises money to support brain tumor research.
You can participate by running (or walking) the course route along with us, by helping us spread the word about this fundraising event, or by making a donation toward our fundraising effort. If you're not a runner, don't worry, many of the registrants are not runners. Instead many of the registrants are brain tumor patients who are just happy to be able to participate in this event.
Your participation and donations enable support, hope and courage for members of the brain tumor community. The Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation provides hope in many ways:
- providing acts of kindness to current patients undergoing treatment
- funding critical brain tumor research
- offering scholarships to those impacted by a brain tumor diagnosis
- hosting support groups for patients and caregivers
PLEASE KNOW that your participation and/or donation will have a positive impact on the life of a brain tumor patient.
The Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation is recognized as as a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization and as a public charity. Donations to the SBTF are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
