Our Events

Our fundraising efforts are centered around hosting or participating in engaging events that bring our community together. Each event is thoughtfully organized to not only raise funds but to foster connections and awareness for our cause.

The NGF has made a remarkable impact over the past 13 years through its dedicated fundraising efforts and generous donations.

From our carefully planned events, such as golf tournaments, to our active participation in local and nationwide initiatives for brain tumor and cancer awareness, the Foundation consistently strives to raise funds that support our vital mission. 

Beginning in 2017, the Foundation was chosen by the Irving Fire Dept’s “Grey Matters to Firefighters” fundraising arm and Fire Chief Victor Conley, to be the recipient of dollars raised for brain tumor/cancer research.  Firefighters are at a 32% greater risk to get brain cancer!  The continued support by the Irving Firefighters and supporters is deeply appreciated as we work together on annual events.  Learn more at ​www.facebook.com/Grey-Matters-toFirefighters.

FOREVER GRATEFUL TO OUR SPONSORS

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for their steadfast support and dedication to our mission year after year.

Their partnerships empower us to raise awareness about the early signs of brain tumors, ultimately leading to earlier diagnoses and improved survival rates.

Their contributions are vital for funding research into the causes and treatment options for brain tumors in the form of research grants in Nick’s memory.

Thank you for helping us make meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.
