Help us grow our community

November 2019

Building community is what we're about, but we're putting extra emphasis on it this month; let's congratulate a valuable member of our community and offer you the chance to get involved. Are you with us?!

Congratulations are in order!

The Award of Merit is the highest honor given by the Virginia Occupational Therapy Association; it recognizes OT's who have made outstanding contributions to occupational therapy scholarship and practice. This year, Lauren Carter-Smith was the deserving recipient. She was nominated by a co-worker, who said "Enough cannot be said about what Lauren does for the OT community! She inspires all around her to do more, be more and be the best OT's..."

We're committed to supporting the brain injury community. Are you with us?

On December 3, BIAV is raising funds and awareness to support Virginians with brain injury, caregivers, and professionals because we believe our community should have access to critical resources to help with their recovery and feel supported in helping others.

You can help us provide these resources to the brain injury community so no one goes through this process alone. Become a Giving Tuesday Ambassador by downloading our toolkit and use social media, texting, and emails to spread the word about brain injury and encourage your friends and family to give back.

COUNT ME IN

We are excited to announce that our 15th Annual Charity Golf Classic raised

$36,750!

Thanks to our sponsors, golfers, and donors, this year's fundraiser was one of our best yet! This money will support persons with brain injury, their caregivers, and professionals by opening up more opportunity for BIAV to provide resources, education, and advocacy.

So, on behalf of our organization,

THANK YOU!
