What is DIPG
Our Impact - Marc Jr Foundation
Marc Jr Foundation Board and Volunteer Members
We have an outstanding group of talented, energized, caring team members. The Board and the Volunteers in the Marc Jr Foundation work to help families throughout the country facing a Diffused Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (“DIPG”)
Marc Jr Foundation Educational Information
We are unwavering in our commitment to not only the families facing a DIPG, but also to doctors and social workers, ensuring they have educational information to share at the time of diagnosis. We understand the devastation this diagnosis brings and we hope to offer families support during this journey. Today, the Marc Jr Foundation’s educational binders are an invaluable resource that help doctors and staff work together with the family to create a plan for the care of the child who has been diagnosed with DIPG cancer.
Marc Jr Foundation Grant Program
We work closely with the social workers at the Children’s Hospitals around the country, identifying families in need of financial services. The Marc Jr Foundation provides services ranging from financial grants to families who are in need of help with co-pays to helping a family without life insurance pay for their child’s burial expenses. Our Board understands the unexpected costs associated with having a child diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
Marc Jr Foundation Research Program
With the help of Dr. Sujatha Venkataraman from Children’s Hospital Colorado, we are looking to fund ground-breaking DIPG research, and we are honored to be working alongside the Children’s Hospital of Colorado Researchers and their commitment to finding a cure for DIPG.
