Brain Aneurysm Foundation Countdown to September: Turning Awareness Into Action
Join the Brain Aneurysm Foundation for Awareness Month 2025
September is Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, a powerful opportunity for the community to come together and raise awareness, honor survivors and caregivers, support critical research, and further advocacy efforts.
Affecting 1 in 50 people in the United States, brain aneurysms are still underfunded and too often ignored. This September, we invite you to turn awareness into meaningful action. Whether you’ve been personally affected or are passionate about making a difference, there are many ways to get involved: big or small.
Contact Your Legislators
Help us urge Congress to pass Ellie’s Law, which would create the first dedicated funding stream for brain aneurysm research, focused on preventing ruptures and improving long-term outcomes for survivors. When our elected officials hear from constituents, it makes a difference. Take just a few minutes to send a pre-written message or customize your own here:
Become a BAF Ambassador
Our ambassadors are the heart of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, passionate advocates who raise awareness and educate their communities. We’d love for you to join us, help share our mission with your friends, family, and community.
Plus, when you sign up, we’ll send you a BAF-branded hat to wear with pride!
Create a Facebook Fundraiser
Whether it’s a birthday, a milestone, or honoring a loved one touched by a brain aneurysm, there’s no gift more meaningful than saving a life.
Create a Facebook fundraiser to support lifesaving research, education, and advocacy. It’s easy to set up, and every dollar raised helps us get closer to a world free from the devastation of brain aneurysms.

From small gatherings to large community walks, every event brings us one step closer to a world without brain aneurysms. We’ll support you with ideas, resources, and promotion.
