The Brain Boogie is a provincial walk-a-thon event to raise money for the programs that support brain injury survivors and their families. This fundraising event was started over 21 years ago by a survivor who felt the need for programs to provide opportunities for survivors to continue learning and regaining some of what they had lost due to their injuries.
In each of the 4 cities where it is held each year, participation in the Brain Boogie by survivors is very strong because survivors value the programs it supports and they enjoy the sense of community that the Brain Boogie offers. Some survivors spend the entire year collecting pledges, sometimes one loonie at a time. The Brain Boogie consists of a group walk, throughout a designated route, followed by a Family Fun Boogie Celebration with BBQ & other fun activities. Each location makes its own plans with variations like a Zumba warm up or musical entertainment.
