Akron Cere-bration Walk, Roll, Run

Currently, there are over 1.9 million Ohioans who have sustained at least one traumatic brain injury in their lifetime. These life altering injuries impact their ability to live, learn, work and play in the community.

Brain Injury Association of Ohio is committed to creating a better future for survivors and their families through supportive programming, research, and education.

Brain Injury Association of Ohio is excited to announce our annual Cere-bration Walk, Roll, Run, in Akron, with multiple satellite sites and virtual opportunities to participate. Brain Injury Association of Ohio is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides services and supports for brain injury survivors and their caregivers throughout Ohio. All of these services are free of charge to the families that we serve.

The event will include a timed 5k, a 1 mile fun run/walk, kids dash and a virtual participation option.

We will have prizes and awards for:

• The largest team
• The team that raises the most funds
• The person who raises the most funds
• The best team picture submitted as judged by the event committee (submitted to membership@biaoh.org by 9/27/2025)
• The person who registers the farthest away from zip code 43081

The event will include entertainment, box lunches provided courtesy of Edwin Shaw Rehabilitation Hospital, refreshments and activities for families.

Any participant who raises or donates $100 or more will receive an official Cere-bration T-shirt. The cut off for receiving your t-shirt at event day is September 5. Anyone who raises the $100 amount after September 5 will receive their t-shirt by mail if there is not a shirt available at the event.
