The Cristian Rivera Foundation is a 501 © non-profit organization with the mission of increasing public awareness of DIPG, as well as raise funds that will provide financial support to families and medical facilities that conduct innovative research and clinical trials. Our foundation funds the work of Dr. Mark Souweidane, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery of Weill Cornell Medical Center – Memorial Sloane (Kettering) Cancer Center and Dr. Oren Becher of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital and the Lurie Cancer Center at Northwestern. Our tireless efforts have given hope to a handful of children, who have been selected to participate in the clinical trials supported by the Cristian Rivera Foundation.  One of those children, Lisha Ayala, has seen no growth in her tumor and has responded well to Dr. Souweidane’s clinical trials.  Lisha has lived with DIPG for 5 years, showing us that our work and dedication are paying off.  To date, the Cristian Rivera Foundation has donated more than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) to the respective doctors, as their work remains at the forefront of DIPG research. As a result of our hard work, The Cristian Rivera Foundation was awarded a Platinum Seal on GuideStar.org. GuideStar.org is the non-profit industry leader in analysis and public information and issues their rating based on transparency and the positive activity conducted in the non-profit community. Not only does our foundation have a Platinum Seal on GuideStar.org, The Cristian Rivera is also the recipient of the 2018 Top-Rated Great Nonprofits Award from Great Nonprofits. As you can see, our foundation takes pride in the work we do and we’re honored to have received such prestigious awards. But we need your help to continue this amazing work.
