The death of 16-year old Montclair, New Jersey high school student Ryne Dougherty has prompted legislators throughout the state to increase the level of awareness and prevention for sports related brain injuries. Earlier this week, it was announced that 21 schools in Northern New Jersey may get funding in upwards of $40,000 from The Brain injury association of New Jersey and the Mountainside Health Foundation in order to implement the ImPACT Concussion Management program, which gives students a computerized brain test before their sports season starts. From these baseline tests, a doctor can compare the results if a student is injured and more accurately gauge the level of severity of the injury.

I am very excited to announce that the Sara Jane Brain Foundation announced details yesterday for the 15-city "American PABI Heroes Tour" set for May 2009. The American PABI Heroes Tour will begin on May 3rd at Tufts University in Boston and end on May 17th at the University of Washington in Seattle. The tour will recognize musical artists around the country who have helped or are interested in helping families of children/young adults with pediatric acquired brain injury.
This will be an incredible way to honor the “PABI heroes” while also raising awareness of PABI and money for families who are dealing with PABI. In each of the 15 cities, one finalist will be selected from the 10-20 semifinalists who will be performing in each city to come to New York City on June 5th (Sarah Jane’s birthday) for the Grand Finale where they will be competing live to be crowned The American PABI Hero.
In each city, there will be a Judging Committee from the world of politics, entertainment, business and academia. The tour will also raise money in each city with all the net proceeds being split between the national pool and the winning artists and their PABI family.
