Brain Injury Awareness Month

MARCH IS BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS MONTH

BIAF’s symbol for this year’s brain injury awareness campaign is a wonderful icon of the month of March - A Kite. We have chosen the kite because it requires people to look up, it’s a work of art and resilient. Winston Churchill once said “Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.” We feel this is so true of survivors and families who overcome adversity everyday and like a kite soar upward in spite of their challenges.

Be active and promote brain injury awareness month in your community. Download our materials below, or call 1-954-786-2401 to have a packet mailed to you.

The kit is available in .PDF format, and includes the following:
