[Source: EVLiving, Kathee Austin] – In 2008, the Students Supporting Brain Tumor Research (SSBTR) distributed $215,000 to the Brain Tumor Society, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Barrow Neurological Institute and TGen.

SSBTR is a student run organization founded in 2002 shortly after three students from the Paradise Valley School District died from brain tumors.
