How we survived the polar vortex

February 2019

Scroll through to find out how Brain Injury Awareness Day went, help us welcome our new interns, and learn how to participate in our upcoming events!

Recap: Brain Injury Awareness Day

The polar vortex didn't stop us from advocating for brain injury funding! Last Wednesday, January 30th, BIAV representatives were joined by members of the community and other non-profits to visit the Virginia General Assembly for Brain Injury Awareness Day. We spoke to legislators, held our signs proud, and met with dozens of Virginia advocates.

Thank you to everyone who participated both in person and virtually - this event wouldn't be a success without everyone involved!

Speaking of Camp Bruce McCoy...

"This camp is truly incredible and has played such a huge role in what I plan to do as a future career. You all put on an amazing camp every year and every year I've left I cannot help to think how amazing the next year is going to be. It's a life changing experience!"
