For safer rides and brighter futures, we’re here for it.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month and the team at Rochester Regional Health’s Golisano Restorative Neurology & Rehabilitation is once again hosting a helmet drive for local kids in need. All donations will go directly to the purchase of new skate and bike helmets that will be distributed by the City of Rochester R-Centers. Because the best treatment for brain injury is prevention.

Each year, Golisano Rehab offers top-tier rehabilitation to over 90 brain-injury survivors through our CARF-accredited rehabilitation program. Since 1989, part of our mission has also been to provide education on how to prevent brain injuries from occurring in the first place.

Last year, we raised over $1000 to protect local kids. Let’s make an even bigger impact in 2025! This year's campaign will run from March 1 – April 30, 2025.

Did you know that use of a bicycle helmet can reduce the chance of brain injury by up to 88%? Additionally, kids who don’t wear helmets while skating or cycling are at three times the risk of serious head injury as compared to those who are protected.
