The 2025 Walk & HUG honours Massimo, a one-year-old boy who is expected to be cancer-free thanks to life-saving treatment made possible by research funded in part by MBF.

Introducing the launch of Help Us Give (HUG)—a meaningful, team-based fundraising initiative that empowers Canadian businesses to engage employees, demonstrate social responsibility, and support life-saving research and families affected by paediatric brain tumours.

As students across the province begin to head back to the classroom to start the 2024/2025 academic year we are thrilled to share an exciting development with our MBF community. Beginning this school year and on an annual basis, The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) will introduce School HUG (Hope, Understanding, Gratitude) day. 

Meagan Bebenek Foundation is proud to announce a significant gift from the George and Helen Vari Foundation. This remarkable contribution recognizes MBF’s critical work and the profound impact it has on the lives of children across the country and around the world. The funds will enable MBF to expand its reach and strengthen its support network for families navigating a child’s diagnosis.
