Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
2026-09-01
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a time to honor the unimaginable strength of children who face cancer and the families who stand beside them. It’s a reminder that behind every statistic is a child with dreams, laughter, and a life interrupted far too soon. Among the most heartbreaking diagnoses are DMG/DIPG, aggressive brain tumors that primarily affect young children and offer few treatment options and little hope for survival. These diagnoses steal futures in the quietest, cruelest ways, often progressing rapidly despite every effort to stop them. This month calls on us not only to remember these children, but to see them, to carry their stories, to support their families, and to push for the research and breakthroughs they so desperately deserve.

“Mark always cared about others first,” said Ali Massey. “We are asking fellow Aggies and the community to stand with us and prove that through research, we can make DMG a treatable disease.”

Strike Out DMG! | Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park
2026-05-01 | Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park, 955 Olsen Boulevard, College Station, 77843, United States
When the Texas A&M Aggies take the field against Auburn on Friday, May 1, they will be playing for more than a win. The game at Blue Bell Park will serve as the official launch of the Mark Massey Legacy Foundation and the debut of the “Strikeout DMG” campaign – a mission to turn every strikeout into a catalyst for a cure for pediatric brain cancer.
The foundation was established by Aggie alumni Ali (’06) and Bryan (’02) Massey in honor of their son, Mark. A vibrant 10-year-old and devoted Aggie fan, Mark was diagnosed in January 2024 with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a terminal and inoperable brain cancer with a zero percent survival rate. He fought with “quiet fearlessness” for 10 months before passing away just two weeks shy of his 11th birthday.
“In Mark’s final hours, we promised him his life would help other children,” said Bryan Massey. “By partnering with Texas A&M Baseball, we are turning our grief into action to ensure no other parent has to hear there is no hope for their child.”
May is National Brain Cancer Awareness Month, a critical time to highlight that even though brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children, pediatric research receives less than four percent of federal cancer funding. DMG is particularly aggressive, typically striking healthy children between the ages of 5 and 10.
The “Strikeout DMG” campaign is made possible through a major sponsorship by Aggieland Credit Union, the Official Credit Union of Texas A&M Athletics. As a deeply rooted partner of the university, the credit union is leveraging its relationship with the Aggie network to help the foundation reach its 2026 fundraising goal of $100,000.
The campaign invites the 12th Man to join “Mark’s Army” through several game-day activities:

“Strikeout DMG” at the Ballpark: Aggie fans are encouraged to wear official “Mark’s Army: Strike Out DMG” T-shirts, sponsored by Aggieland Credit Union.
Bubbles for Mark: A tribute to Mark’s joyful spirit during the game.
A child currently battling cancer will throw the ceremonial first pitch to honor all those affected by DMG.
The Mark Massey Legacy Foundation is a proud research partner with ChadTough Defeat DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) Foundation.
