Need for brain injury awareness sparks new partnership
The first big step in raising awareness for brain injury and providing support for those afflicted has taken place in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association has recently announced a partnership with the Royal Purple Lodge Association, which will help the former with funding and campaigning.
The Royal Purple has so far donated $5,000, and with the help of the Elks another $500, to the Prince Albert division of the Brain Injury Association. They are also donating $1,000 to the provincial division.
One major spokesperson when it comes to brain injury awareness is the woman who helped bring this partnership together. The issue has also touched Elaine Perkins’ life personally.
