9th Annual Brain Bowl Luncheon was a SUPER BOWL Event!
Boca Raton, FL – BRAIN BOWL EVENTS, INC., a volunteer-based non-profit organization, led by Attorney, PAMELA HIGER-POLANI, helps increase awareness and funds for those living with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s & the 100 types of dementia in our community. Hosted on Wednesday, Feb. 8, with PAT DEAN as the Honorary Chairperson, and with over 900 people in attendance, the 9th Annual Brain Bowl Luncheon, held at Boca West Country Club, with medical expert, Dr. Chris Nowinski, as the Keynote Speaker.
Dr. Nowinski is the CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation and a social entrepreneur leading a global conversation on concussions, CTE, and the future of sports. An All-Ivy Harvard football player-turned WWE professional wrestler-turned neuroscientist, Dr. Nowinsk discovered the sports concussion crisis the hard way when
a kick to the chin ended his career. His own personal struggle with post-concussion syndrome sent him on a journey through which he exposed a global public health issue that is only beginning to be understood. Fascinating!!
In addition to supporting other non-profits addressing dementia, including the ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION, the volunteer committee pledged this year a $100,000 commitment to the BRAIN BOWL PROJECT, an intergenerational community room for the FULLER CENTER & VOLEN CENTER, in which seniors and children can interact, play, thrive and enhance each other’s lives!
Dedication was made, in loving memory, to many of the community members and leaders who died recently to this horrific disease, such as former Boca Raton Mayor, SUSAN WHELCHEL; STEVEN SAUL RUBIN; SHEILA MURIEL ORLEANS; LILLIAN MEERSAND COHN; REVA ROGOFF; BRIGITTE NICOLE GALGUT; TED FERTEL; and NORMAN PERRY ISLER.
