Donate Your Plate on the 28th is a campaign to partner with restaurants within our community to raise awareness and funds for brain tumor research and support programs.

The Brain Tumor Awareness Organization establishes the Grey Ribbon Medallion campaign where patrons can donate $1 and $5 for paper Grey Ribbon Medallions.

Patrons sign “I’M AWARE!” and join an advocacy network to raise awareness. These campaigns are being featured in Charleston, Travelers Rest and Greenville, South Carolina this year.

The Olympian Grill at 402 Duncan Chapel Rd. Ext. in Greenville, SC will be hosting “Donate Your Plate on the 28th”.

Thank you to all the businesses (near 50) that are promoting our “Go Grey in May” campaign. Special thanks to our star volunteer-Angie Gilbert, whose husband was diagnosed in 2007 with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma. She has within 2 weeks expanded our campaign from 5 sponsors to near 50 across the Upstate!
Raising awareness is the key to survival!
