The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is thrilled to announce a momentous milestone in its mission to support individuals affected by brain aneurysms and to fund critical research. In 2024, we will proudly celebrate our 30th anniversary and we are excited to host our BAF community in the city where it all began in 1994.

Save the dates of September 11th and 12th of 2024, and join us as we come together at the Fairmont Copley in Boston, Massachusetts, for our 18th Annual Research Grant Symposium, 30th Anniversary Celebration, and our first-ever Support Group Conference.

Evan Giarrusso, better known as EVAN GIIA, is a Brooklyn-based vocalist and Electropop performer who lost her uncle to a brain aneurysm rupture in 2019. EVAN GIIA put on a concert in honor of her uncle on October 27th and not only raised $20K for the BAF, but has also made it her mission to spread brain aneurysm awareness. Read more about EVAN GIIA and listen to the song she wrote in her uncle's honor HERE.

BAF Grief Support Group

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by the impact of brain aneurysms. Over the years, we have provided support group opportunities to survivors and caregivers but realize that we need to do more for those who have lost a loved one to a brain aneurysm. That's why we are pleased to announce the launch of our new Brain Aneurysm Foundation Grief Support Group, which will be co-hosted by licensed therapists.

Losing a loved one to a brain aneurysm is devastating, and the grieving process can be uniquely challenging. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is committed to providing a safe and nurturing space for individuals to connect, share their stories, and find solace in the company of others who understand the pain of loss.

The meetings will take place via Zoom (dates and times to be determined) and will kick off with our next webinar on November 16th at 4 pm ET. (registration coming soon)
