The Brain Aneurysm Foundation

To provide support and educational materials to the medical community, the newly diagnosed survivors, family members, friends and the general public regarding the facts, treatment options, and recovery process for brain aneurysms. With the help of the medical community, remain steadfast and earnest in the pursuit of brain aneurysm research that can directly benefit those affected.

Brain aneurysms are a silent killer because most show no symptoms over time. It is estimated that up to 1 in 50 people in the U.S. will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime. Due to the lack of awareness and research funding, the situation today is grim. Each year about 25, 000 people will suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm. almost half of the victims will dies and of those surviving, only a third will recover without disabilities. While the vast majority of brain aneurysms occur in adults over 40, they can also strike children and young adults, often resulting in death. There is hope. research is being done today to save lives tomorrow. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is funding essential research that can directly benefit those affected. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation funds basic scientific research directed at early detection, improved treatment modalities, and technological advances that will ultimately improve outcomes for patients with brain aneurysms.

Volunteers usually help with events that are organized; specifically the annual Rockin' 4a Cause fundraiser.  Duties needed included organizing silent auction items, handling activities at the event, set up and break down, accounting and distributions, security of donation items, computer input and more.  We also are always in need a social media volunteer and website updates volunteer.
