The Julia Barbara Foundation Gala is a celebration of the lives of DIPG (brain stem tumors) children. The event includes drinks, food, silent auction and entertainment by Eversoul.  All proceeds are donated to research funding to cure brain stem tumors (DIPG) in children, and the event correlates with DIPG Awareness Day. Currently, children diagnosed with a brain stem tumor face a 0% survival rate. Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children.
