The SBTF all-volunteer Board of Directors consists of passionate people, like you, who are committed to making a difference through their gift of time and talent. Our small but dedicated Board works diligently to achieve the Foundation's goals; among which is to find a cure for brain tumors through the funding of invaluable brain tumor research.

Through the spirit of volunteerism comes the fulfillment of paying-it-forward, and truly making a marked difference. If you would like to join upwards of 100 volunteers who assist us on Race Day, or if you would like to volunteer throughout the year, we'd love to hear from you.

To get involved year round, simply send us an email with your interests and availability. We will contact you to discuss opportunities for you to become a Voice of Hope with the SBTF.
