We raise money only for this cause.Great Minds is a community.

Rock and Roll Over Brain Cancer (RROBC) is dedicated to making this reality a thing of the past through fund-raising activities specifically benefitting brain cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) in Columbus, Ohio. RROBC events benefit the Lisa B. Landes Brain Cancer Fund, established for the purpose of brain cancer research, patient care, patient experience, and patient enhancement. ​RROBC was created in 2011 by brain cancer survivor Mary Kay Fenlon, as she approached the 10-year anniversary of her brain tumor surgery and diagnosis. Collaborating with her neuro-oncologist, Mary Kay produced the first RROBC event, raising over $10,000. RROBC now organizes and hosts 2-4 social awareness fundraising events each year, and as of 2020, RROBC has raised over $200,000 for brain cancer research and patient care." } ] } ] ```
