Record-Breaking Gala Raises $167,000 for Brain Injury Support

We are overwhelmed with gratitude. On March 7th, our community came together for our annual gala, and together we raised $167,000 — the most ever raised in our organization’s history. These funds will help us to continue to provide and grow our services, education and commitment to build better futures for brain injury survivors.

This milestone belongs to all of us — every donor, sponsor, volunteer, and guest who showed up as our community. You didn’t just fill a room, you changed lives. Your continued involvement and support has beautiful and direct impacts to our work, and we are excited to be able to have this opportunity to keep making a difference to our thousands of clients who depend on services.

Lastly, a huge thank you to our volunteers. Your gift of time, skills and passion towards our mission is an incredible force to be reckoned with. We are so lucky to have you all!

Because of you, recovery is possible. Help the Victoria Brain Injury Society continue providing free, essential support to brain injury survivors in our community. Give today—your impact starts here.

Because of you, recovery is possible. Thank you for being part of this community.

A special thank you to our incredible photographer and videographer Geoffrey Tomlin-Hood, Director of Photography at The Number. Be sure to check out all the incredible moments he captured in the Gala Gallery below.
