On March 21, 2012, South Carolina had it’s first Brain Injury
Awareness Day at the State House. Our theme this year for Brain Injury
Awareness Month was “A Concussion IS a Brain Injury.” Over 100
supporters came out to help raise awareness. Weeks prior to the awareness
day, BIASC staff and supporters joined together to deliver Awareness Day
postcards and gummy brains to all members of the General Assembly.
The speakers for the day were:
-Joyce Davis, BIASC Executive Director
-Senator Mike Fair, District 6- Greenville County
-Representative Peter McCoy, District 115- Charleston County
-Dr. Craig Burnworth, Medical Director at Moore Sports Medicine
Concussion Center
-Kenneth Edmonds, NFL Representative
-George S. Wham Jr., EdD, ATC/SCAT, Pelion High School, SC Athletic
Trainers Association
-Student athletes Anna Penland and Brennen Barber
Thank you to all those who made the day possible: our speakers, SC SAFE
KIDS, SC Children’s Trust, SC Independent Living Council, Disability
Action Center, SC Injury Free Alliance, SC Athletic Trainers Association,
SC Brain Injury Leadership Council, and BIASC Awareness and
Prevention Committee.
