Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - June is Brain Injury Awareness Month
The Brain Injury Association of Windsor and Essex County (BIAWE) is facing fundraising shortfalls due to cancelled events, and a number of operational challenges due to COVID-19 and the associated social distancing. We are in danger of closing our doors. To help us and other charities survive and continue to offer our valuable services, Canada Helps has launched the sixth annual Great Canadian Giving Challenge with an increased grand prize.
It is a national public contest to benefit any registered Canadian charity. Every $1 donated to the BIAWE in June via CanadaHelps.org, automatically enters BIAWE to win an additional $20,000 donation. The grand prize draw will take place on July 1st, Canada Day, and we may receive this new grand prize of $20,000.
The Brain Injury Association of Windsor and Essex County’s mission is to enhance the lives of those affected by a brain injury through education, awareness and support.
