The goal is to Spread Awareness

Zoefia was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma when she was 2 years old.  –  Pineoblastoma is a type of cancerous tumor {malignant} that arises in the area of the pineal gland.  It is rare, aggressive, and fast-growing!  The exact diagnosis is critical for choosing the correct therapy. Pineal tumors typically present with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid pressure within the brain. Individuals with Pineoblastoma live an average of 20 months after their diagnosis, and 10% of affected individuals are alive 5 years after their diagnosis.

Zoefia battled cancer for 4 years and passed away at the age of 6. This foundation was created to honor her life and battle as well as to spread awareness!

Why We Advocate ?

10% of affected individuals are alive  5 years after their diagnosis.

  • Brain Tumor/Cancer Awareness Month is May –  The color of the Ribbon is Gray

  • This campaign aims to bring awareness to the cause of  Brain Cancer ribbon
  • Why are we having this campaign? Our CEO Zoefia was diagnosed with Pineoblastoma when she was 2 years old.  –  Pineoblastoma is a type of cancerous tumor {malignant} that arises in the area of the pineal gland.  It is rare, aggressive, and fast-growing!  The exact diagnosis is critical for choosing the correct therapy. Pineal tumors typically present with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid pressure within the brain. Individuals with Pineoblastoma live an average of 20 months after their diagnosis, and 10% of affected individuals are alive 5 years after their diagnosis. Zoefia battled cancer for 4 years and passed away at the age of 6. This foundation was created to honor her life and battle as well as to spread awareness!

    Usually, for Brain Cancer Awareness Month we post facts daily showcasing various Brain Cancer statistics. This year we decided to switch things up and we need your help. We have Gray Hats for Brain Cancer Awareness Month and we would love to give you a hat to help us spread awareness. You just have to simply wear the hat make a quick video stating Brain Cancer Statistics,  mention our organization & upload it to social media.

    Are you wondering how this will help?

    Helping to spread awareness by sharing statistics is a powerful way of getting individuals’ attention. The general cancer community is already aware of the month & statistics. We are trying to spread awareness outside of the cancer community.  We all have different groups of friends and family members that are probably not aware of the cause and who would love to get involved.

    Individuals have asked what they can do or how they can get involved? We understand that some don’t have the funds to donate or the time to volunteer. Participating in #ZOEYGOESGRAYINMAY is the simplest and most effective way that you can help to spread awareness this may.

    • The hat is yours to keep!
    • The hat is free of charge!
    • We ask that if you request the hat, you follow through with your obligation to spread awareness for the cause!
