On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey proudly hosted its 19th Annual Gala at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston, NJ. This special event celebrated exceptional individuals making a meaningful impact in their communities.

This year’s theme, “A Legacy of Hope: Celebrating Survivors and their Stories,” honored five inspiring brain injury survivors whose strength and resilience serve as a beacon of hope for all. Their stories remind us of the power of perseverance and the importance of community support.

You can still make a difference! Your generous donation will help us continue providing vital services to over 10,000 New Jersey residents each year.
