Nearly 50 years ago, 2 mothers desperately fighting to save the lives of their daughters forever changed the trajectory of brain tumor diagnoses by founding the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA). We created a campaign not only to celebrate the ABTA’s 50th anniversary but to help them achieve a 5-year, $50M goal to triple their research investment, double the patients they serve, and double federal funding for brain tumor research. So we made it personal.

MeetHopeHeadOn.org

We put a face on the disease by designing a dynamic microsite dedicated to brain
tumor patients and their caregivers. With a call to “Meet Hope Head On” we aim to
inspire a movement for change by demonstrating that, through a simple donation,
the power to create a future free of brain tumor deaths is in all of our hands.

Meet Hope Head On Video

With this video, we gave voice to those touched by brain tumors
to demonstrate that they’re not as uncommon as you may think.
Emotional, but not saccharine, it’s a touching plea to join the
fight against brain tumors by donating.
