Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse advances the long-term well-being of people with brain injury-related disabilities and their families through skills development, support, and advocacy......but really we’re a big family that sticks together and helps each other out! The Clubhouse teaches life skills to members, gives caretakers respite, and provides all involved with joy and love!

Amidst all the uncertainty of COVID-19, Side by Side decided to close the Clubhouse to members for the safety of the broader community. Its dedicated staff remains via social distancing or telework. They feel that it has never been more important to provide services to our community of adults with brain injuries. 

This pandemic is disconcerting for everyone, but imagine how hard it could be if a brain injury impacted your ability to plan or understand what was going on

The staff has been calling each member and checking:

  • If they're healthy (with a survey that breaks down COVID-19 symptoms)
  • If they have enough food to eat, basic supplies
  • How they can plan to stay healthy and well-stocked for the foreseeable future 

The Clubhouse finds it particularly important to continuing a line of communication between Side by Side and its members who live alone or in a personal care home. While staff is needed now more than ever, the closure of the Clubhouse means operations income has stopped, and the Clubhouse urgently needs funding to continue its important work.

Our signature fundraiser could not take place in 2020, so we need your help more than ever!

I have volunteered with Side by Side for many years now, and have had the honor of serving on their board of directors for the past year. I have seen first hand what amazing work they do and how they impact members of the community. I would like nothing more for my 40th birthday, then for you to make a donation to help keep us afloat during these trying times.

Please join me in supporting Clubhouse staff by donating a special gift in this unprecedented time.
