LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Berkshire Family and Individual Resources and Greylock Federal Credit Union are again partnering to raise awareness for National Brain Injury Awareness Month for the second year in a row.  

 

With support from the credit union, BFAIR will be distributing 250 bike helmets for children and adults to promote brain health and safety in Berkshire County.

 

The distribution will take place Saturday, April 15, from 10 to 1 at the Ashuwilliticook Trail Head on the Connector Road, near the entrance to the former Berkshire Mall. 

 

There will be 150 helmets for ages 6-13 and 100 helmets for those 14 and older given out free of charge.

 

"As an agency, we are continuously working to promote disability awareness and destigmatizing what it means to have a developmental disability, autism, or acquired brain injury," said Tara Jacobsen, BFAIR's director of development.. "Brain Injury Awareness Month and our partnership with Greylock Federal Credit Union is such a wonderful opportunity to further this work, uplift stories of survivors, promote community inclusion as well as brain health and safety."
