Colbeck Capital Management (“Colbeck”) today announced its
ongoing support of the Children’s Tumor Foundation (“CTF” or the
“Foundation”) through sponsorship of Comedy for a Cure, one of
several events taking place around the world highlighting and
leading up to World NF Awareness Day. The event, held on May 14 at
the Comic Strip Live in New York City, gathered members of the NF
(short for neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis) community for a
night of stand-up comedy benefiting research and awareness.
World NF Awareness Day takes place annually on May 17 during NF
Awareness Month, a dedicated time to bring attention to the
inspirational and remarkable stories of those living with NF, and
the critical need for research to better their lives. Through
dedicated events and partner initiatives around the world, the
Foundation is able to raise awareness and support to help change
perceptions of the condition and strive for a cure. Proceeds from
the events, and supporters like Jason Colodne and Colbeck Capital,
are counted on to drive research, expand knowledge, and advance
care for the NF community.
NF refers to a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to
grow on nerves throughout the body, affecting millions of people
around the world. CTF is a leading force in the fight to end NF
through its pioneering research, innovative funding, and
groundbreaking drug development for all types of NF, which includes
neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and all types of schwannomatosis
(SWN), including NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN). The
Foundation seeks to accelerate the discovery of life-changing
therapies, strengthen clinical trials, and empower the NF community
and its ambassadors. More information regarding CTF can be found at
