Giving Circle Overview
Over the course of 3 months, you will come together virtually to pool your funds and select a research project in alignment with LBF’s mission of finding more effective, safer treatments for childhood brain cancer.
You will learn how to use your financial, social and intellectual capital within your networks and communities to promote the research and work being done by the Lilabean Foundation. Additionally, Giving Circle members will gain a better understanding of the nuances surrounding pediatric medical research and it’s funding through our exclusive Giving Circle "events."
We are so excited that you are here. Are you ready to help us provide HOPE to those affected by childhood brain cancer?!
Learn more about what a Giving Circle is from Alyssa Wright, Philanthropic Advisor at the Wright Collective.
