The Plus One Foundation acknowledges that this is the start of Brain Injury Awareness Month. There are more than 5.3 million individuals in the United States who are living with a brain injury-related disability. At least 2.8 million Americans sustain traumatic brain injuries in the United States every year.

Plus One joins the community to raise awareness and advocate for treatment and care for those with TBIs. Please help us be a voice for brain injury this March by talking to friends and family about the importance of supporting people with brain injuries.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the STAND UP! for Plus One Foundation, our annual Gala that will take place next month. It will be a night featuring comedy, silent and live auctions, door prizes, and much more. Join us on Saturday, April 26th, at 7 pm.

Plus One will also be in Washington, D.C. this week. We have board members participating in the 2025 National Brain Injury Conference and Awareness Day! We are dedicated to supporting this community as best we can, and encourage you to do the same.
