Why It Matters
This initiative comes during Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spotlighting the challenges that individuals with brain injuries face and the resources available to support them. Thousands of South Carolinians are affected by brain injuries each year, making it essential to raise awareness and ensure that the community has the knowledge and resources to help them.
The Bigger Picture
Joyce Davis, the Executive Director of BIASC, highlights that brain injuries do not only impact individuals but also have a ripple effect on families, workplaces, and communities. The Walk, Run & Roll event is more than just an activity; it’s a statewide fundraising effort aimed at enhancing prevention, research, education, and advocacy surrounding brain injuries.
Your Support Counts!
The BIASC is the only organization in South Carolina that focuses solely on brain injury, providing unique resources and support for affected individuals and families. Their critical work involves participation in leading committees and task forces, such as the SC Brain Injury Leadership Council. Operating requires donations, grants, sponsorships, and fundraising efforts, so every step taken during this walk can significantly contribute to their mission.
