About @ctbta
The CT Brain Tumor Alliance (Connecticut Brain Tumor Alliance) is a nonprofit organization based in Connecticut dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by brain tumors. It raises funds for patient assistance, community education, and research at regional hospitals and cancer centers.
Mission and Activities
The organization’s mission is to improve the lives of Connecticut residents impacted by brain tumors through direct support, education, and advocacy. It provides financial aid for patients, sponsors hospital-based programs, and funds clinical research initiatives aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
The rain held off and it was an amazing day!
From inspiring survivors and dedicated supporters to our incredible honorees, volunteers, sponsors and members of the brain tumor community, this day was a powerful reminder of what it means to be Stronger Together.
Because of YOU, the 13th annual Path of Hope became our most successful event yet, raising over $270,000 to support brain tumor patients, families, research and outreach efforts across Connecticut.
Thank you for walking beside us with hope, courage and compassion every step of the way.

Today, members of the CTBTA gathered at the State Capitol to raise awareness, share education and bring hope to the Connecticut brain tumor community.
Alongside fellow board members, volunteers, patients and their families, we had the incredible honor of being introduced on the floor of both the House and Senate in advance of Brain Tumor Awareness Month this May.
A powerful day of advocacy, unity, and purpose, all an important step forward in amplifying the voices of those impacted.
