The The Sean Reilly Traumatic Brain Injury Fund will host it’s annual fundraiser, ‘A NIGHT AT THE RACES’, on Saturday, April 30th at the Knights of Columbus, Summit. Join us for a fun night of video horse racing, DJ, delicious light fare and fabulous prizes!
On January 27, 2009, Sean P. Reilly, a Summit High graduate, passed away at the age of 25 from complications attributable to a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that he sustained nearly 5 years earlier while studying abroad in Europe. During his 5 years as a minimally conscious TBI patient, Sean and his family experienced firsthand all of the challenges and pitfalls associated with funding and reimbursement for TBI related healthcare. And so, after Sean’s passing, his parents Susan and Bill founded the Sean Reilly TBI Fund to address and bridge the funding shortfalls.
All proceeds from this event will go directly to supplemental therapies and rehabilitative equipment for patients at New Jersey’s leading TBI rehabilitation centers such as the JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute’s Center for Head Injuries, especially its Extended Recovery Unit in Edison, New Jersey. The Fund also partners with the Brain Injury Alliance of NJ, funding the needs of statewide TBI patients and their families.
We invite everyone to join in on the fun on April, 30th. Tickets are $75 per person, $50 for persons age 35 and under and can be purchased on the Fund’s website, www.seanreillytbifund.org, or at the door the night of the event. Checks can also be sent directly to The Sean Reilly TBI Fund, 2 Devon Rd., Summit, NJ 07901. Please specify number attending and contact information. For more information or to contact us, please go to the website.
