Started by a pediatric brain cancer survivor and former collegiate athlete, Vs. Cancer makes it easy for any sports team, any athlete, and any community to help kids with cancer. As a signature fundraising program of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Vs. Cancer proceeds fund family support and child life programs in teams' communities, along with lifesaving pediatric brain cancer research.
 
Dave Mays, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Director of Vs. Cancer, understands how vital these athletes are to the nonprofit's mission. "Vs. Cancer athletes are changing the game for kids and families across the country," he says. "Brain tumors are the deadliest and most commonly diagnosed childhood cancer, but each Vs. Cancer game gets us one step closer to a cure. Together we are creating a brighter, better future – a future without childhood brain cancer."
