About Pediatric Brain Foundation

Pediatric Brain Foundation is a not-for-profit organization created to provide financial support to families with children diagnosed with neurological disorders, brain cancers and traumatic brain injuries. The foundation began as Children's Neurobiological Solutions Foundation in 2002 to fund research and bring together scientists who would focus on finding treatments and cures for the more than 14 million children with brain disorders. In 2017, CNS became the Pediatric Brain Foundation. With a new name, leadership and mission in place, the Pediatric Brain Foundation shifted its focus from fundraising for research to directly supporting children and their families while still empowering and educating families, health care professionals and the public on the importance of treating pediatric neurological disorders.
