No-Brainer® fundraiser at a glance

No-Brainer® is an innovative partnership of non-profit youth sports organizations, brain injury associations, and the private sector working together in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) awareness. It is the only and single most important global youth sports-related TBI community initiative.

No-Brainer® was established in 2003 with the support of the Sport-SOS global community, key brain injury associations and the private sector in North America.

Our mission and only purpose is to increase sports-related Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) awareness. Our campaign will benefit over 40 million youth athletes and targets over 120 million people including their families across the USA. .

Our annual goal is to raise US $40 million for this worthy cause – a minimum of one dollar per athlete! We will continue fund sports-related brain injury awareness campaigns, research, rehabilitation, and new education initiatives in communities we work, live and play in. No-Brainer® proceeds will benefit our non-profit fundraiser partners, youth sports groups and brain injury associations across the USA.

Awareness means less tragedy!

Head injury daunts the youth sports community. No-Brainer® will dramatically help prevent, diagnose and treat potentially devastating sports-related head injuries.

Did you know that even a minor sports injury can cause TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury? Each year in the United States, an estimated 3.8 million athletes sustain sports-related concussions and 1.4 million people sustain a TBI, which is 8 times the number of people diagnosed with breast cancer and 34 times the number of new cases of HIV/AIDS.

It pays!

Deciding to join No-Brainer® may be one of the best decisions you ever make. It can become your main annual fundraising source and help your organization achieve your fundraising goals - and more!

It can be highly profitable!

It’s Rewarding!

The best ‘cure’ for brain injury epidemic in youth sports is awareness. Education means less tragedy. Your participation will help people learn how to prevent, properly diagnose and treat sports-related head injuries.

We need your help!

The main reasons why we need YOUR help raise awareness for TBI is because most of those people affected by brain injury are either 1. Dead 2. Disabled 3. Embarrashed 4. Have limited time (families caring for injured) 5. Lack of funds.
