Virtual Events – New



There is no US without YOU!

Wherever you live and however you choose to support BAF’s mission, we are united by a commitment to raise awareness and fund brain aneurysm research. If you are able to help – we need you!

As a result of the devastation caused by COVID-19, it is time for BAF to go VIRTUAL. Although the foundation is still serving its mission each day, the foundation has lost over $600,000 in event revenue due to cancellations since March. We would all rather be together at one of our favorite events, but let’s see what we can do together, yet apart. We encourage you to show your BAF pride by participating in one of our VIRTUAL offerings.


So, when Medical Advisory Board Member – Paul Camarata, MD came up with the idea to shave his now shaggy quarantined hair in support of the BAF – we said of course, and hope others will join him!

Every head shaved will be in honor of each patient that left the hospital with less than their full head of hair! Similar to a 5K, each participant will raise funds by reaching out to their networks to sponsor their Buzz for BAF. The dollars raised will go to support a research grant in 2020, as our funding will undoubtedly be much less than in past years.

Will you take 5 minutes to Buzz for BAF, raise funds for research, and ultimately save lives?

So, when Medical Advisory Board Member – Brian Jankowitz, MD found himself sheltering in place atop his Peloton, thinking about his patients, he came up with the idea to ride in support of the BAF – we said of course, and hope others will join him!

Every mile cycled will be in honor of a brain aneurysm patient! Similar to a 5K, each participant will raise funds by reaching out to their networks to sponsor their Ride for BAF. The goal is to ride for 18 miles (take as long as you need) to raise awareness for the stat that a brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes in the US. The dollars raised will go to support a research grant in 2020, as our funding will undoubtedly be much less than in past years.

Will you take a few minutes to Ride for BAF, raise funds for research, and ultimately save lives?

So, when Board of Directors Member – Karly Soulas found herself safe at home and spending quality time behind her jogging stroller dreaming of the days when she could run a few miles without stopping, she got to thinking about how she is always motivated by a good cause. She came up with the idea to Run a 1 in (5K)0 to represent the #1in50 that are at risk of an unruptured brain aneurysm in the US – approximately 6 million people - we said of course, and hope others will join her!

If we can’t run together physically, we can band together by running apart for brain aneurysm awareness. You pick the place, time and distance! Each participant will raise funds by reaching out to their networks to sponsor their Run for BAF.

Can you find a few minutes to Run for BAF, raise funds for research, and ultimately save lives?

So, when Deb Coulter our Director of Development decided to walk 30,000 steps with her daughters on Mother’s Day to represent the number of lives lost every year to a brain aneurysm to support the BAF – we said of course, and hope others will join them!

If we can’t walk together physically, we can band together by walking apart for brain aneurysm awareness. You pick the place and time! Each participant will raise funds by reaching out to their networks to sponsor their Walk for BAF.

The BAF is definitely facing unchartered waters during COVID-19. Although the foundation is still serving its mission each day, the foundation has lost over $400,000 in event revenue due to cancellations from March – June.

So, it is time for us to go Virtual! If we can’t be together physically, we can band together by running apart for brain aneurysm awareness. You pick the course and time! Each participant will raise funds by reaching out to their networks to sponsor their Chip in Fore BAF. The dollars raised will go towards education for medical professionals, support initiatives, and research funding to be awarded in 2020.

Even though we would love to be with you on the course, it would mean the world to BAF’s mission if you could find the time to Chip in Fore BAF and raise funds that could ultimately save lives and change lives for the better!

Will you swing a club to Chip in Fore BAF, raise funds for research, and ultimately save lives?

Our goal at the Brain Aneurysm Foundation is to Stop the Pop!

We need ambassadors for the Stop the Pop Campaign in all fifty states to help us raise awareness and provide education on brain aneurysms.

The campaign has two goals:

1. Make Stop the Pop go viral by sharing an image/video of a red balloon on social media and ask three friends to do the same; and for all to like and share your post.

2. Increase participation in our advocacy initiatives both at the state level and federal level. For example, join us on our next day on Capitol Hill to advocate for brain aneurysm research funding.

Join your State


BrainPOWER members use the power of giving to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by brain aneurysms. No matter how you choose to get involved, as a BrainPOWER member, you’ll be empowering the vital work of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and helping to bring more education and awareness, support and research focused on reducing the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures.
