This weekend - October 9 & 10 - come out and join all of us for the #210Strong UR Benefit Race Weekend with a portion of proceeds benefiting Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) research.
Why Does TBI Matter?
In the U.S. alone, about 2.8 million people sustain a TBI annually, with some 280,000 resulting in hospitalizations. Of those injuries, about 50,000 are fatal, meaning there are approximately 155 deaths every day from TBI-related injuries. One in every 60 people has a TBI-related disability, culminating in around 5.3 million people total.
What about UR Medicine?
UR Medicine's TBI research team is consistently looking into ways to better treat - and ensure better outcomes for patients with TBI. The proceeds that Palmyra Racing Association donates goes directly to assist in those research efforts.
