Strategic Partnerships Opportunity to engage with healthcare networks, universities, and local businesses that support pediatric cancer research through sponsorships, joint fundraising events, and in-kind partnerships to amplify ChadTough visibility and funding.

Research Collaboration There is a strong link to academic medical centers and research consortia (e.g., DMG-ACT, ChadCarr Center partners). Position ChadTough as a grantor and collaborator for multi-institutional trials and translational research initiatives.

Fundraising Programs Capitalize on existing programs like My DIPG Navigator and annual workshops to upsell donor engagement packages, corporate employee giving, and milestone-driven campaigns that align with family-friendly fundraising.

Corporate Cause Marketing With partners like Michigan schools and retail partners, pursue cause-marketing collaborations, branded campaigns, and donor-advised funds to broaden corporate sponsorship, matching gift programs, and recurring giving.

Awareness to Revenue Leverage public awareness around DIPG’s severity to accelerate donations through targeted campaigns, storytelling sponsorships, and grant-ready proposals that convert awareness into structured philanthropic commitments.
