Forbes | SHOOK Top Advisors Donate $1.5M For Life-Saving Pediatric Cancer Treatment

10 0
08.05.2026

Major U.S. investment firms and top wealth advisors donated $1.5M to fund a life-saving vaccine therapy designed to treat children with no other options suffering from brain cancer.

The campaign is part of an ongoing partnership between SHOOK Research and Minneapolis-based Children’s Cancer Research Fund, a national non-profit dedicated to ending childhood cancer. Details about donating to the campaign can be found here.

The donations will be used to finance a treatment at Children’s Minnesota where two physicians, Anne Bendel and Maggie Skrypek, are testing a vaccine therapy to treat diffuse midline glioma (DMG), an invasive brain tumor with a survival rate of less than 5%.

SHOOK Research’s dedication to saving children’s lives has resulted in over $10 million raised to fund life-saving treatments, including over $7 million directed towards Children’s Cancer Research Fund. These figures include the Shook family’s giving.
