OUR IMPACT
We're fired up.
And we're just getting started.
Every fundraiser, every donation, and every shared story helps fund research, support Warriors, and bring people together in the fight against glioblastoma.
Join the FightImpact you can see.
Progress you can measure.
Turning dollars into progress
This is what momentum looks like.
KBStrong has helped put approximately $750,000 behind glioblastoma research at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and OSF Cancer Institute. That support is making progress happen in several ways:
01
More clinical trials
OSF has also increased its local capacity for clinical trials, creating more opportunity for emerging research to move forward.
That gives promising ideas more opportunity to be studied, tested, and developed into possible treatment options.
02
More local expertise
KBStrong’s presence in the community shows specialists that Peoria is serious about supporting people affected by glioblastoma.
This has helped OSF recruit more oncology and neuro-oncology experts closer to home.
03
More potential treatments
With KBStrong support behind the research, thousands of compounds have been evaluated in the search for better glioblastoma treatments.
From that field, one promising compound has emerged, bringing the research closer to testing.
Every dollar has a job
Big breakthroughs depend on small contributions.
A research microscope may cost $75,000. A Petri dish may cost $0.75.
But, the research doesn't happen unless we have both.

Warrior Fund
Real help for the people facing this fight today
Through the Warrior Fund program, KBStrong provides financial assistance to eligible people living with glioblastoma.
A grant might help with practical needs at home or an experience a family wants to share together. The decision belongs to the Warrior and their family.
HEROES
A community that shows up when families need it most
HEROES connects friends and family members affected by glioblastoma with a community that understands. Many go on to volunteer, attend events, raise funds and carry the KBStrong mission into their own communities.
