Ways to Help

Ways to Help

You can make a difference and help raise awareness through donating money, time, and support to those who need your help. With your support, we can start making a real investment to help fight the devastation caused by brain aneurysms and we can save lives.

 


How can you support research funding with Ellie's Law?

Contact your legislator to sign onto Ellie’s Law.  This law (H.R. 1553 & S. 852) would provide the first ongoing dedicated research funding stream for breakthroughs in preventing potentially fatal brain aneurysms from rupturing and improving the long-term medical consequences and quality of life issues for aneurysm survivors.

Memorial Page
Many families have indicated a desire to honor their loved ones that have been tragically lost due to a brain aneurysm by establishing a Memorial in their name. Creating a Memorial page allows you to create a living memorial of a loved one that has passed due to a brain aneurysm. You can personalize the memorial page with a photo, stories about their life for family and friends to read, as well as allowing them to share their own messages of remembrance. They will also have an opportunity to make a donation to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

You can get started setting up your own memorial page or to find a memorial page already created for a loved one lost to an aneurysm by clicking the button below.

Set Up Your Own BRAINPOWER Fundraising Page

You can make your own personal fundraising page in memory or in honor of a loved one to raise money to support the mission of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

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.

Being part of the BrainPOWER campaign makes fundraising easy and fun and there are unlimited opportunities to make a real difference. As part of the funraising initiative, you can turn your next marathon, golf tournament, walk, or other event into an opportunity to support the work of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

Be a part of the team that will cross the finish line in the race to reduce brain aneurysm ruptures. BrainPOWER members inspire action in others by participating in a variety of different physical challenges including walking, biking, running, swimming and more.

BrainPOWER members all over are planning fundraising events or participating in athletic events in support of brain aneurysm awareness and research. No matter what you choose to do, and it does not need to be an athletic event, we're available to help and support you. Need some ideas to get started, visit our Event Planning Guide.
