Carries Beanies 4 Brain Cancer

10 years of CB4BC!

When I won the Gold Logie in 2015, I wanted to use my acceptance speech to make a difference. I dedicated my award to my late husband Greg, who passed away from brain cancer.

The reaction was overwhelming, it blew me away, and encouraged me to start Carrie's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer Foundation.

Thanks to the support and generosity of Australians we've raised over $24m for research. But there is still more to do. I really believe that one day, no family will have to lose someone they love to brain cancer.

Together we can make a difference.

The Brain Cancer Centre is bringing together the best and brightest research minds with a single focus.

Founded by Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer and established in partnership with WEHI with support from the Victorian Government, we’re bringing together over 70 researchers from 17 collaborative partners, leading hospitals, universities and research institutes from across Australia. All working towards a shared vision: that one day no lives are lost to brain cancer.

We’re on a mission to build a brighter future for brain cancer patients.

The Brain Cancer Centre is the culmination of your generosity and support. Thank you to every person who bought a beanie, held a fundraiser or donated. Your support means these brilliant researchers can improve patient outcomes NOW and in the future.

Many Minds. One Focus.

It all started in May 2015 when Carrie won a Logie!

In 2015 Carrie dedicated her Gold Logie Award to her late husband Greg, who passed away following a 10-year battle with brain cancer. She formed CB4BC Foundation and has since raised over $17 million for vital brain cancer research.
