Proceeds from the raffles and the $5 cover charge benefit Miles For Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for Brain Tumor research. Miles For Hope also raises awareness about the prevalence of Brain Tumors and assists patients enrolled in clinical trials with medical transportation costs.
Miles For Hope was founded by Robert and Barb Gibbs in 2008. Gibbs, a Brain Tumor survivor himself, attributes the availability of a cutting-edge clinical trial vaccine to his longevity. As an organization, Miles For Hope wants to ensure that even more people have access to the treatment that has helped save his life.
