The foundation has raised $13.5 thousand in support of the United Brachial Plexus Network's annual camp.
During the foundation's event, Art for Palsies, we sold paintings, obtained upfront donations for paintings to be completed in the near future, and collected donations totaling up to $13.5 thousand. These contributions allowed the United Brachial Plexus Network to cover the expenses for the three hundred people registered for camp. In addition, they will cover the cost of airfare for two international families who would like to attend the camp.
"As someone who sustained a brachial plexus injury, it means the world to me to be able to personally do something to support the community," said Tolani Ajayi, the foundation's founder. "Art is something that has the ability to touch people all over the world. I want my art to not only increase awareness and provide funds for brachial plexus injury initiatives, but also to display that you can do anything you put your mind to despite the limits imposed by the injury. These funds will enable the United Brachial Plexus Network to continue to impact the lives of families affected by brachial plexus injuries, just as they did for my family as a child."
