WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
We are delighted to announce our role as hosts for the third annual Headed for Hope 5K, dedicated to raising funds for brain tumor research, awareness, and patient support. This initiative aims to support the Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Education & Research Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization committed to advancing scientific research in the battle against brain tumors. Additionally, the foundation extends its philanthropic outreach to support patients of Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates and the broader community affected by brain tumors. Through this event, we invite our community to join hands with us, offering local engagement and sponsorship opportunities as we spearhead efforts to combat brain tumors.
Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates, one of the nation's largest and most highly respected neurosurgical private practices, has been committed throughout its long history to advancing the science and delivery of advanced brain and spine care.
Our team is constantly aware of the significant toll brain tumors often take on our patients and their families. We consider that reality as we care for pediatric and adult neurosurgical patients. Our patients' strength and resiliency inspire and fuel our determination to provide them with cutting-edge care and access to the latest techniques and treatments they deserve.
