Where do the funds raised go?

"Carrie Bickmore's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer and the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) have been working closely together for many years, with a focus on investing in vital brain cancer research and with a shared vision: that one day no lives will be lost to brain cancer. We recently established the Brain Cancer Centre as the culmination of this partnership.

We recognise that it will take a huge investment over the long term to attract the best and brightest minds to brain cancer research. We want to create a brighter future for brain cancer patients and their families and ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease.

The Brain Cancer Centre brings to life this shared vision, and was founded by Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer and established in partnership with WEHI with support from the Victoria Government."
