The Brian D. Silber Memorial Fund supports spinal tumor research, clinical services, and educational programs.
Through our collective efforts, Brian’s Fund has provided support for essential research and has given many patients access to the best possible treatments for spinal tumors.
It was Brian’s hope that his fund would improve the lives of spinal tumor patients and someday help to eradicate spinal tumors.
We hope that you will join us in perpetuating Brian’s dream.
