Please Keep Raising Brain Injury Awareness Through March—
We are So Close to Reaching Our Goal!
There are still a few days left in March (a.k.a. Brain Injury Awareness Month)…so please keep doing just that—raising awareness!!
• Use #sH2022 to SHARE YOUR PHOTOS you took at surviveHEADSTRONG on social media.
• Ask your social media followers to continue to DONATE to your fundraising page.
• But most importantly, SHARE YOUR STORY about your connection to brain injury.
Only as a community can we make it known how brain injury affects so many people, in so many different ways!
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
Our Day of Art event is an opportunity for brain injury survivors to engage with creation of art projects in a variety of mediums. Survivors will learn basic art techniques during Day of Art that they can use even after the event is completed. It will also provide a positive environment where survivors can connect with peers—something that is increasingly important during these times of increased social isolation.
Participants must have registered by JULY 8, because they will be mailed an art kit for the event—this means the participants do NOT have to buy their own supplies!!! Veltz Fine Art and LoveJoy Creations will provide professional art instruction to event participants.
Registration is now closed. If you have any questions, please contact SDBIF at either 619-294-6541 or info@sdbif.org.
