Colbeck Capital Management (“Colbeck”) today announced its ongoing support of the Children’s Tumor Foundation (“CTF” or the “Foundation”) through sponsorship of the CTF NF Summit 2024, the largest educational gathering in the neurofibromatosis (“NF”) and schwannomatosis community. The annual flagship event, to be held April 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, brings together NF patients and families, researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, friends, and supporters with a connection to NF.

This year’s summit includes a renewed focus on the role of patients and care advocates in advancing NF research, contributing to CTF’s goal of bringing new treatments to the market. It offers patients and families opportunities for education, empowerment, and connecting with others on a similar journey. It will also highlight the launch of CTF Engage, the Foundation’s new patient representation initiative designed to enhance all phases of the research process by incorporating the unique perspectives of individuals with NF and their families. Supporters like Jason Colodne and Colbeck Capital have enabled CTF to continue driving research and awareness through innovative initiatives and events like the NF Summit.

NF refers to genetic disorders that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, affecting millions of people around the world. The Foundation is a leading force in the fight to end NF with an unwavering commitment to pioneering research, innovative funding, and groundbreaking drug development for all types of NF and schwannomatosis. It seeks to accelerate the discovery of life-changing therapies, strengthen clinical trials, and empower the NF community and its ambassadors.
