The Business Executive Committee (the “BEC”) is a group of corporate leaders across multiple industries from electronics and communications to manufacturing and travel. In 2018, the BEC banded together in support of a close friend and BEC member, a brain cancer survivor, with a commitment to advancing pediatric brain cancer research and care.

In just 6 years, the BEC has raised over $5.7M to support the development of treatments and clinical trials that traditional research funding doesn’t support. Brain cancer continues to be the #1 cancer killer in children and Duke is leading the fight for a cure.

We’ll be running the Angels Among Us 5K race on Saturday, April 27th to continue our impact in the fight against childhood brain cancer.

With your support, Duke will continue to transform the standards of care for pediatric brain tumors, preventing the need for surgery with less invasive therapies, increasing long-term survival and allowing children to live a normal life.

Together, let’s be sure that at Duke… there is always HOPE.
