Proper Citation: Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma Foundation (RRID:SCR_004758)
Description: The Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma (PLGA) Foundation is the largest, and only, non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope to children, parents, and families fighting Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytomas (PLGAs). We were founded in August 2007, as a 501(c)(3) foundation made up of families and friends dedicated to helping children who are struggling with brain tumors. To date, families associated with the Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma (PLGA) Foundation have raised over $6 million for DEDICATED PLGA research and funded over a dozen new research projects targeted specifically at children''s brain tumors or PLGA''s. These funds have supported the launch of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute''s PLGA Research Program as well as numerous grants distributed by the Brain Tumor Society, and other fine institutions. The PLGA Foundation awards 100% of funds to education and research in the search for more effective, less toxic treatment options for this potentially devastating childhood brain tumor. The PLGA Foundation actively promotes partnerships with other non-profit organizations, private individuals and government entities and has collaborated on fund raising, education and grant allocations in order to leverage resources and funds. Our goal at the Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma (PLGA) Foundation, also known as Fight Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (FightJPA.org), is to UNITE families around the country and around the world in the FIGHT for the lives of our children who suffer from PLGAs - childhood brain tumors. We can defeat childhood brain tumors through a united effort on all fronts to increase awareness, education, fundraising and research of pediatric low grade astrocytomas.
