We Couldn’t Do It Without Our WONDERFUL Sponsors!!!

In Kind Donors

The San Diego Brian Injury Foundation hosted its 18th and most impressive Friendraiser (so far) on Saturday, September 15. We had Joan Embery as our Honorary Chairwoman, 13 artists (the most we’ve ever had) showing their work including Al School creating one of his signature LIVE painting pieces, amazing music by Jeff & Herb and the Dryad Flutes, 2 amazing telescopes from the San Diego Astronomy Association, and food and wine for everyone to enjoy.

It was a beautiful evening in the San Diego Hills and we are so thankful for everyone making this wonderful night possible.

These are the AMAZING Survivor Artists that showed their artwork at the 2018 Friendraiser:

Walk for Recovery

Celebrating Brain Injury Awareness Month

The 2018 SDBIF surviveHEADSTRONG – Walk for Recovery was a HUGE success because of supporters like YOU. But there is still a ways to go to reach our goal of $75,000. Please help and donate today or share this with friends and family and ask them to donate. Maybe instead of buying a $5 coffee, you donate that $5 to a worthy cause — every amount helps. Thank you!
