The Association hosted its first Gala in 2007 to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Based upon the resounding support it received, we set out since to have one every year during Brain Injury Awareness Month in March. We take this opportunity each year to celebrate the services of the Association and honor individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing the quality of life for people affected by brain injury in our state.

Visit the Leadership Awards page to see current and past gala honorees.

Second Annual Gala

This year's Gala took place on March 11, 2008 at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston. The festivities paid tribute to Gary S. Carter (FACHE, President & CEO of New Jersey Hospital Association) and Anthony G. Dickson (President & CEO of New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Group).  View Photo Gallery

Thank you to all of our sponsors and attendees for making this event an incredible success and helping us continue our mission to provide services to persons affected by brain injury.

Stay tuned for information and sponsorship opportunities for next year's Gala.
