The Mission of The Saskachewan Brain Injury association is dedicated to improving the knowledge, services and quality of life for people living with acquired brain injury, their family and service providers. Without the hard work of the volunteers, like the ones recognized above the mission would not be a success.
Shelli Gardiner, a survivor of brain injury, was recognized for her outstanding fundraising ability. In the past two years Shelli has rasied more then $8000 by making contacts, involing her family and asking for support in the Prince Albert area. Shelli has also been a valuable resource to educate people on Brain Injury.
With the funds that Shelli has raised, she has made it possible for many indivduals with Brain injury and their family to attend the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Camp, Conferences and distribute educational materials regarding brain Injury.
Congratulations and thank you to Shelli and all other voluneers who have spent countless hours dedicating their time as voluneers.
