Sign up to be a Luminary of the Year Fundraising Champion
For over 40 years, the Brain Injury Association of America has provided vital resources, support, and advocacy for the brain injury community—advancing research and legislation to improve lives. But this work isn’t possible without the dedication of Champions.
Luminary of the Year Champion candidates will be supported by BIAA staff in several ways throughout their fundraising campaign, such as having access to streamlined online tools that will allow them to easily share their story, upload photos, share fundraising updates, and reach out to their networks.
The fundraising totals will be announced from the stage at the end of the night. The highest total will become a Luminary of the Year Champion!
With BIAA’s guidance and your drive, you’re not just fundraising – you’re building a lasting impact.
