The Brain Injury Alliance of NJ (BIANJ) had its first-ever annual gala in a virtual format via Facebook and YouTube, complete with speeches, awards, and music. At Kessler Foundation, we were exceptionally proud that two of this year's awards went to individuals closely associated with our organization. Dr. Nancy Chiaravalloti, Director of the Center for TBI Research and Neuropsychology & Neuroscience Research, was designated this year's Research Innovation Champion for her tireless efforts in meaningful brain injury research. The second award, Volunteer Service Champion went to our longtime research participants and advisory board members Jane & Joe Concato in honor of their service to the brain injury community in North Jersey.
