REQUEST GIFT CARDS FROM YOUR LOCAL STORES
Want to help the SBTF from your local hometown? Reach out to local Costco Warehouse, Publix, and Target Stores! The gift cards are used to offset the costs of our events and programs and allows your donations to go further to support the brain tumor community. All the necessary documents for submitting applications to these stores are found below.
Please print all the corresponding documents required for the store you wish to submit the request, place all forms in an envelope, mark the front of the envelope “Attention: Store Manager” and hand-deliver the envelope to the service desk. No conversation (unless you'd like to tell them how awesome we are!) and no selling, it is an easy way to support our mission even if you don't live in the Atlanta area.
To maximize our chances of a donation, please apply to any and all stores locally and when you travel for business or pleasure within the Southeast. For example, you can apply to Target Atlantic Station once a year but also drop off these forms to the Target near your in-laws. The same goes for Costco and Publix. Please do not be concerned with another supporter possibly submitting to the same store location. If it happens, the store will simply consider one request instead of two, and it will not be an issue. These forms are updated each year.

The SBTF offers volunteer opportunities at our events and throughout the year. We need volunteers to knit hats, deliver flyers to treatment centers, review scholarships, collect items for chemo care bags, and many other tasks.
“Some of you know us as team Gray Matters, and some of you know us as Steve, Susan, and Tom. We call ourselves ‘friends of the SBTF.’ We share a common goal with the foundation and with you. That goal is to champion brain tumor research and bring an end to brain tumors. When we’re not raising funds for brain tumor research, we’re volunteering with the SBTF throughout the year.”
