Books 4 Brains

Flippin Pages & Saving Noggins with TAAF

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

~Dr. Seuss


Just as books open new worlds, this fundraiser opens new avenues for medical research and awareness of brain aneurysms, AVMs, and stroke. Participation is SIMPLE: everyone gets something fun, you could win amazing prizes, and best of all, YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH PROGRAM TO MAKE YOUR BIG IMPACT.
