Johns Hopkins on Brain Tumors

They concentrate a lot on Pilocytic Pilomyxoid brain tumors, and currently their site about brain tumors just describes their research and has a page where they ask for donations. From that page:

 "No grant or foundation funding has been available for this form of tumor because it is so rare."

This type of tumor is seen only in children, and is usually fatal. A lot of research is going to be needed before they get close to a cure.
