GIVING BACK:



  • Your participation in this event will help us raise awareness for traumatic brain injury survivors and help us promote helmet safety in youth sports.  Our nonprofit founded n 2015, in honor of retired police officer Tony Meduri, who suffered a traumatic brain injury.  In 2011, he was hit by a drugged, uninsured driver while sitting at a red light.  After months in the hospital, he required 24/7 care and had to give up his home, love of cars, and life as he once knew it.  Tony passed on but we continue the mission to support TBI survivors.

  • Your support allowed us to bring the First Camp TBI Jacksonville in May 2019 that directly supported 50 caregivers and their survivors.

  • Your support has allowed us to provide financial funding for TBI survivors to attend long term care programs and quality of life support.

  • Your support allowedus to launch the Play it Protect it Campaign 2019-2020 to help promote helmet safety and concussion prevention in youth sports. We purhcased 34 lacrosse hlmets for the Fletcher High School Boys Team.
