Join us on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023, at The Four Seasons for Knuckle Ball in Bloom, in support of brain aneurysm, AVM and stroke research and awareness. We are committed to supporting patients and aiding in the research and treatment of brain aneurysms, AVM’s, and stroke. Our goal is to raise awareness about the risk factors, causes and treatments of these conditions, while helping support the advancement of neurological research. We provide public education and advocacy, support for patients and families, and develop awareness programs and educational materials for hospitals, clinics, and other institutions nationwide. We believe that support is a vital part of recovery. Our Patient Advocacy Program includes support groups across North America as well as an online support community of over 20,000 survivors, caregivers, physicians, and advocates.
Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards the advancement and expansion of the foundation’s Patient Advocacy Program, as well as the establishment of a localized clinical research grant for applicants in the Houston area and beyond.
