Knox Martin Foundation for Brain Cancer Research

As 2024 is wrapping up and we head into the Holiday season, I want to take a moment to reflect on another incredible year for the Knox Martin Foundation for Brain Cancer Research and a massive milestone that was just hit. Thanks to a successful Giving Tuesday campaign and the constant support of all of you, KMF was honored to donate our MILLIONTH DOLLAR last week to the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University since our inception in 2021! Your donations have/are funding the research and development of 3 FDA-approved clinical trails which over 30 brain cancer patients and counting are already enrolled in across Duke, NYU, UCSD, and Stanford. Additionally, KMF has been a vehicle for dozens of patient referrals to Duke who are now getting best-in-class treatment and can spend their holidays with hope and encouragement. This is only the beginning. Becky Martin Madison Letts Wade Cox Joseph Stark Riley Martin Charlotte Boyd Cole Lackey Gabriel Finger Lauren Watts Luke Jenkins Sam Nevers

Congratulations to Becky Martin and team with the Knox Martin Foundation for Brain Cancer Research (KMF) for their successful 2nd annual Golf Against Gliomas Tournament!! D-Rex Defenders was a hole sponsor again this year to help support KMF with critical funding for brain cancer research and clinical trials being done at Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. I lost my only son Derek to #gbm in 2019, he was 28 years old. We will never stop fighting until there’s a cure. #endcancer #curebraintumors ##itsperonal #imissmyson

What an amazing event with so many great people! Last Friday the Knox Martin Foundation for Brain Cancer Research hosted their second annual golf tournament to raise money for Glioblastoma research, research that is grossly underfunded despite GBM being the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Congratulations Becky Martin, Wade Cox, and Patrick Baughman for having such a great event. A special thank you to Seyfarth Shaw LLP for their support of such an important cause. Knox we miss you, but your legacy lives on through many amazing people. Please consider donating at: https://lnkd.in/e7uf95wJ

We are deeply grateful to The University of Georgia for providing a platform to share Knox's journey with Glioblastoma, and KMF's fight to continue Knox's legacy by giving current GBM patients a shot at a longer life!

Introducing KMF’s March Community Member of the Month: Camille Holcomb (Margot Holcomb). Camille has been an active member on KMF’s volunteer board for two years, dedicating her time and energy to help further our fundraising and community initiatives around Athens and Atlanta. Camille is a fourth-year student at the University of Georgia, majoring in Human Development and Family Sciences. She hopes to become a certified Child Life Specialist. Last year, we tasked Camille with recruiting a team of fellow students to form a KMF Ambassador Group on campus. Today, she is leading that very group! Over 20 student volunteers have joined her team to expand KMF's reach at the University of Georgia. This Friday, KMF Ambassadors will host their very first fundraising event: GIRLS DAY OUT, featuring local pop-up shops & a closet sale benefitting KMF! Planning & executing a fundraiser of this scale is no easy task—but Camille has led her inaugural Ambassador group seamlessly. We are blown away by her dedication for KMF and the way she serves our community! In her own words "Getting involved with KMF has been one of myfavorite experiences thus far in college. Although I didn't personally know Knox, seeing the impact he had on so many people inspired me to contribute to the cause and make a difference for those affected by brain cancer.” Thank you, Camille. It’s people like you who truly make a difference in organizations like ours. You are helping us give someone else’s Knox a shot at a longer life! If you live in Athens, stop by GIRLS DAY OUT this FRIDAY to join Camille & her team for fun, shopping, and giveaways benefitting KMF.
