This year-end report is late because 2007 was such an extraordinary year for our organization and our cause. It took us longer than usual to compile the results! 2007 was a remarkable year because it ended the Silent Epidemic of TBI. Never before had we seen so much media attention. Nearly every day, a news story appeared about a horrible car crash, a nasty slip and fall, or a brain injury sustained on the playing field or the battlefield. The stories aired on network television and cable broadcasts and were printed in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, the New York Times and dozens of popular magazines. 2007 was a remarkable year because of hard-fought legislative victories. Never before had Congress heard a stronger demand for more research, education and treatment. Policy makers on both sides of the aisle introduced legislation to improve the quality of life for people with brain injury. This year alone, the federal government’s investment in TBI research surged from $85 million to $235 million. 2007 was a remarkable year because 2007 was remarkable for the Brain Injury Association of America too. Never before had we felt so much compassion for the spouses, siblings and friends Never before had we answered so many requests for information, resources and help. Never before had we trained and certified so many professionals to be brain injury specialists—nearly 1,200 this year alone! Never before had the Brain Injury Association of America’s Board of Directors, volunteers and staff worked so hard as the voice of help and hope for brain injury survivors, caregivers and professionals. Our 2007 accomplishments would Only with your help can we continue to expand public awareness, enact legislative change, support state affiliates and serve the millions of people whose lives are forever changed by the physical, cognitive, social and financial consequences of this devastating injury. Please make your tax-deductible contribution to the Brain Injury Association of America again this year. I promise to safeguard your support and invest it wisely in creating a better future in 2008 and in the years to come. With warmest regards, |
