Brothers is proud to announce The Morgan Adams Foundation as an October Brothers Gives Back recipient. The Morgan Adams Foundation funds kids’ cancer research raises awareness and educates our communities about the need for pediatric and young adult specific cancer treatments.
Working with leading researchers and physicians, they fund new and innovative ideas that will improve cancer treatment effectiveness, overall outcomes, survival rates and quality of life while minimizing the devastating side effects current treatments have on children.
The Morgan Adams foundation is named after, a 5-year old girl named Morgan Adams. She was an average, healthy girl when she was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumor in December 1997. She battled cancer for 11 months before she ultimately succumbed to the disease.
Two years after Morgan died, her parents Steven Adams and Joan Slaughter joined the Oncology Advisory Board at The Children’s Hospital in Denver as a way to learn more about research and treatment options for childhood cancer, and to take a more active role in addressing the unmet needs in the field of pediatric cancer research.
As a result of their work on that board, they asked a small group of friends to help host a fundraiser to benefit pediatric cancer research, and on a cold night in February 2001, artma – now their signature art auction – was born. The extremely successful event today has become a much-anticipated biennial event.
