After raising almost $25,000 at their first event last fall, siblings Lauren Shapiro Mandel, Joe Shapiro, and Jonathan Shapiro went on to co-found the Brain Research Foundation Young Leadership Board. Now with over 15 members, the Young Leadership Board works to support Brain Research Foundation's fundraising and awareness efforts, while helping to end the stigmas surrounding neurological diseases.
100% of donations received by Brain Research Foundation go directly to funding only the most innovative brain research in various areas of study, including Alzheimer's, stroke, autism, migraines, Parkinson's, brain injury, depression, epilepsy, and so many more.
