ROBERT CONNOR DAWES FOUNDATION USA

GivingTuesday

This year. the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation is taking part in GivingTuesday.

Brain cancer is the most fatal of all childhood cancers. Current clinical treatments only help 50% of children, but leave 90% with lifelong physical and mental impairments.

You can give a gift this giving season that will make a difference to young people with brain cancer. Money raised in the US stays in the US going towards high impact research projects.

Mateo's Story

Our Music Matters program is making a difference beyond Australia, with our Wisconsin pilot bringing the joy and benefits of music to young people affected by brain cancer in the US.

Meet Mateo, a seven-year-old Music Matters resource grant recipient who received a keyboard and ukulele to explore his love of music.

“Mateo has been playing his piano after everything he is still going through. It provides him so much happiness.”

It's moments like these that remind us why Music Matters. Through the power of music, we're helping bring joy, creativity and connection to kids navigating incredibly challenging times.

We're continuing to seek referrals for young people diagnosed with a brain tumour in Wisconsin who could benefit from the program.
