The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with organizations in all sectors to forge partnerships that achieve corporate priorities while advancing care and treatment of the brain injury community via sponsorship, promotion, or direct to consumer opportunities.

Helping Partners Exceed Expectations

As the nation’s oldest and largest brain injury advocacy organization, BIAA has a 40-year history as the leading expert in brain injury science, care, treatment, and advocacy. The Association is regularly sought out for its approval and support on a variety of matters with local, national, and global impact. Through multiple channels, partners can put their products or services in front of people living with brain injury, caregivers, advocates, family members, policymakers, healthcare, legal, and business professionals. Partners can also increase their profile and recognition within the brain injury community by aligning with a highly recognizable organization.

Doing Well by Doing Good

Partnering with BIAA allows an organization to demonstrate company values, leadership in the field, and commitment to all those affected by brain injury. BIAA has considerable influence within the brain injury community, impacting decision-making and purchasing. Community members want to support brands that embrace social responsibility and support causes important to them. As a result, 87% of consumers will purchase a product because a company advocated for an issue they cared about and 89% will switch brands to one associated with a good cause (Cone Communications CSR Study).

Ira Sherman is no stranger to recognizing a need and doing something about it.

During childhood, Ira was first introduced to a community of developmentally disabled adults while helping his aunt and uncle host Saturday night socials at the local YMCA. After starting his career as a trial lawyer, he gravitated toward a focus on individuals impacted by developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Mr. Sherman and his law partners have been making a positive impact on the brain injury community for more than 25 years. With the firm’s focus being on people with developmental disabilities and TBI, Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. has touched thousands of lives in service of their clients while investing time as volunteer leaders at BIAA and the Brain Injury Associations of Washington, D.C., and Virginia. Mr. Sherman served on the BIAA Board of Directors for seven years and as the organization’s treasurer for two of those years. Mr. Sherman and Joe Cammarata founded the BIA of Washington, D.C., and Mr. Cammarata currently serves as its president.

In Fall 2020, the firm announced plans to make a $25,000 gift to the Brain Injury Research Fund, which had recently completed its first year supporting researchers who are seeking cures for chronic brain injury. The fund makes seed grants of up to $25,000 to researchers and grants of $5,000 to support young scientists completing their doctoral work. The benefits of the fund are twofold: investing in the most promising science to increase discovery, and recruiting the best and brightest investigators to specialize in brain injury. Mr. Sherman and his partners hope that this gift inspires others to make a contribution to the fund. “Every grant made by the Fund has the potential to turn on an engine that will ultimately take us down a road to provide relief from symptoms associated with having sustained a TBI,” says Mr. Sherman.

“We know the impact that TBI has on the individual and know the necessity to provide support to organizations who are often the bedrock that the individual with TBI turns to for help. Reliable, trustworthy support – that’s what BIAA provides,” explains Mr. Sherman. For these reasons, Sherman and his partners were compelled to do more. “It is a source of pride for us,” says Mr. Sherman, “BIAA supports individuals along the entire spectrum of brain injury. No one with a brain injury will feel diminished because the impacts on them are significant but may not be demonstrable to others. All with brain injury are served the same way with resources, advocacy, and now research.”
