The Cure Starts Now Founder's Club Invitation
Keith and Brooke Desserich

When Keith and I founded The Cure Starts Now, we knew we could not cure cancer by ourselves. We needed to build a community of people who were just as dedicated to ending childhood brain cancer as we are.

Your generous support has shown us how committed you are to giving our kids hope. For this, I can never thank you enough.

If you have any questions or if I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you in advance for your continued dedication.

We couldn't do this with you!

Ways to Give

DONOR-ADVISED-FUND (DAF)

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-inclined individual, families and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, public-traded stock and in some case, certain liquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.

For DAF transfers over $5,000, please perform them directly through your fund provider to EIN: 26-0269131, otherwise you may initiate a transfer below:

MONETARY DONATION

The Cure Starts Now accepts credit card, e-check, PayPal, Venmo, Apple/Google Pay, and physical checks.

STOCK DONATIONS AND ESTATE PLANNING

Donating stocks, setting up charitable beneficiaries for your retirement account, or including us in your estate plan or trust can be a tax-efficient way to donate to The Cure Starts Now.

A financial advisor can guide you through tax benefits as many of these options allow for a larger itemized deduction than a traditional donation.
