This past weekend, Ian's Friends Foundation hosted the 2026 WhatIFF Symposium in Atlanta, bringing together pediatric brain tumor researchers from around the world. What makes WhatIFF different is the room itself. These aren't researchers working in silos. They collaborate across institutions and borders, challenge each other's thinking, and accelerate work that might otherwise take decades. IFF exists to remove every barrier between a promising idea and the funding it needs. No bureaucracy. No overhead. Just science, moving as fast as the children who are waiting for it. We are grateful to every researcher, family, donor, and sponsor who makes this possible. And we are especially excited to announce this year’s winners: (1) Daniel Heller, PhD | Memorial Sloan Kettering @memorialsloankettering (2) Giuseppe Longobardi, PhD | Tel Aviv University @tauinternational (3) Praveen Raju, MD, PhD | Rady Children's Hospital and UCSD @teamrady + @ucsandiego #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #WhatIFFSymposium #IFF

This is why IFF exists. Brain and CNS cancers are the #1 cause of cancer death in children. 42 families hear those words every single day. And yet childhood cancer research receives just 3% of the National Cancer Institute's budget. We refuse to accept that. Every dollar raised through Ian's Friends Foundation goes directly to changing these numbers, for the children and every family who deserves better than the odds they've been given. This month and every month. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #IansFriendsFoundation #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #UntilTheresACure

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every day, children and families receive news that changes everything. A diagnosis. A fight they didn't choose.

You've seen us mention the WhatIFF Symposium. But what is it? Every year, IFF brings together the brightest minds in pediatric brain tumor research, not to compete, but to collaborate. To sit in a room together and ask: What IF we could find a cure? That question has already led to a clinical trial that wouldn't exist without this gathering. This is why we fight. This is how breakthroughs begin. #IansFriendsFoundation #WhatIFFSymposium #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #UntilTheresACure

We are so grateful. A heartfelt thank you to @audiatlanta for their generous sponsorship of the 2026 Evening of Inspiration.

Our August newsletter just landed in your inbox, and this one is different. This month, the Pappas Family is sharing their story. They found IFF through love for a friend facing the unimaginable when a close friend's daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor at just 10 years old. Watching their friends refuse to be passive in the face of devastating news led them to IFF and, eventually, to helping launch the West Coast chapter in Los Angeles. The Pappas Family writes about sitting in that hospital waiting room during surgery, with feelings of equal parts helplessness and hope, and what it meant to know that researchers had dedicated their lives to making that moment possible. Check your inbox for their full story. #IansFriendsFoundation #AugustNewsletter #EveningOfInspiration #UntilTheresACure #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #IFFFamily

There are no words big enough for a loss like this. Rowan Rieve was sweet, smart, funny, and kind; the kind of presence that made every room a little better just by being in it. He touched more lives than he probably ever knew. Rowan was part of our IFF family, and today we grieve alongside those who loved him most. We carry him with us, in every research project we fund, every family we walk alongside, and every step we take toward a cure. This is why we fight. This is who we fight for.

This Saturday, August 1, is the deadline! Confirm your sponsorship of the 2026 Evening of Inspiration by Saturday to be recognized in the official invitation and printed event materials shared with guests in Los Angeles and Atlanta. #IansFriendsFoundation #EveningOfInspiration #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #SponsorshipOpportunity

This is who we are. Not a bureaucracy. Not a typical nonprofit. A family of researchers, donors, families, and friends, all showing up for the same reason: because kids with brain tumors deserve a cure, and we refuse to stop until we find one. When a doctor brings us promising research, we don't put it through a committee. We find a way to fund it. That's what your support makes possible. That's what Ian’s Friends Foundation is about. #IansFriendsFoundation #EveningOfInspiration #WeAreAFamily #PediatricBrainTumorResearch

62 research projects. 32 institutions. Worldwide. That's what happens when donors and sponsors show up for kids with brain tumors. Science moves faster, researchers collaborate across borders, and families get closer to a cure. Your sponsorship of the 2026 Evening of Inspiration helps grow that number. And if you confirm by August 1, your name will be in our printed event materials and official invitation, seen by every guest in Los Angeles and Atlanta. We would be honored to add your name to this year's list. #IansFriendsFoundation #EveningOfInspiration #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #62Projects #SponsorshipOpportunity #MakeADifference

Drop anchor! On October 9, @mustacheharbor is bringing the smoothest sounds on the West Coast to Rockin' for a Cure, our 4th Annual Los Angeles Evening of Inspiration.

So put on your captain's hat, grab your crew, and join us at Playa Studios in Culver City for an unforgettable night of music, community, and hope.

Since 2014, the IFF Band has taken the stage at IFF events to help raise awareness and funds for pediatric brain tumor research. These aren't professional musicians. They're kids who decided that raising awareness and funds for pediatric brain tumor research mattered enough to pick up a guitar, a mic, and a drumstick and show up. That's the heart of Ian's Friends Foundation; it's not just doctors and donors. It's a whole community, including teenagers who could be doing anything else with their time, choosing to use their talent for kids fighting brain tumors. #IFFBand #iansfriendsfoundation

At Ian's Friends Foundation, we're not a typical nonprofit. We're a family. There's no bureaucracy standing between a promising research project and the funding it needs. When a doctor comes to us with work that could change outcomes for a child with a brain tumor, we find a way to make it happen. That's only possible because of sponsors like you. Here's what your sponsorship makes possible: 94¢ of every dollar goes directly to research. $35M+ raised and 62 research projects funded across 32 institutions worldwide since 2006. When you sponsor the 2026 Evening of Inspiration, your name is seen by everyone in the room, alongside a community of people who believe a cure is possible. Confirm your sponsorship by August 1 to be included in our printed event materials and official invitation. We would be honored to add your name to this year's list. #IansFriendsFoundation #EveningOfInspiration #SponsorshipOpportunity #PediatricBrainTumorResearch #MakeADifference #94Cents

Why We Do This In 2005, we heard the words that changed our family forever: "We found something." Our son Ian had an inoperable tumor in his brainstem. In our search for answers, we discovered that very little funding was being allocated to research these specific pediatric brain tumors. So we started Ian's Friends Foundation to fill that void for the thousands of children who suffer from this disease. YOU can help fund the next breakthrough. Whether through attending an event, becoming a sponsor, or donating, your support directly impacts the future of pediatric brain tumor research.
