The Friends of BrainHealth® donor circle is dedicated to supporting emerging researchers with grants to fund innovative new studies. Since its inception, the group has raised more than $4.3 million and given more than 40 seedling grants to emerging researchers.
Joining Friends of BrainHealth at any membership level ensures your invitation to the Ramona Jones Friends of BrainHealth Luncheon – an exciting annual event featuring presentations from emerging brain health researchers and a live competition to win funding for independent projects. Finalists give a live pitch, “Shark Tank” style – with audience members voting in real time to choose the winner.
