The Glenn Garcelon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which exists to improve the quality of life of brain tumor survivors, caregivers and their families by providing emotional and financial support.
As the intense pain of losing Glenn began to lessen, Gail, Nicole and Danielle started discussing what they could do to continue his legacy. While they were deeply involved with the National Brain Tumor Society Brain Tumor Walks (Nicole organized Portland’s first walk in 2006 and continues to serve as its Chairperson and Danielle has served on the planning committee for the Dallas-Fort Worth Brain Tumor Walk since its inception in 2006), they wanted to do more.
In 2010 they decided they would honor Glenn’s memory by forming a foundation in his name. Originally their vision included raising money to support brain cancer research, promoting awareness of brain tumors and offering support services for patients and their families.
A Board of Directors was chosen and paperwork to become a 501 (c) (3) was filed. In June of 2010, the non-profit Glenn Garcelon Foundation became a reality.
In 2011 the Board of Directors discussed refining the goals of the foundation. Gail, Nicole and Danielle eventually decided that Glenn would want us to devote our energy and resources to helping all who have been affected with the day to day challenges of living with a brain tumor. At that time a new mission statement was written and approved by the Board of Directors.
