2025 Goals:
We are challenging ourselves for our 25th anniversary by increasing our membership (by 20+) and philanthropy programs (an additional $250,000). The Krempels Brain Injury Center model is unique in post-acute day services for survivors of brain injury. Our model focuses on individual choice and control in therapeutic opportunities. There are survivors not yet accessing a service like ours, and we stand ready to make them aware of it and welcome them to our community.
Fundraising Events:
A gala in June 2025 is the in-person celebration of our anniversary. We look to reconnect with families who built our foundation, celebrate our present and prepare for a bold future. We will host the 15th Annual King Challenge Cycle Ride for Brain Injury in Oct. 2025. This event has raised $1.5 million+ to date! Three foliage-filled routes are available for all skill levels and are family friendly. For more info on all events, please visit kbicenter.org/help/community-events.
Giving Opportunities:
Gifts of any size are vital to the fundamental commitment to operate our programs without financial burden to any member. Scholarship programs provide $270,000+ annually in services to qualifying members. Over 50% of members participate at no cost, and over 80% attend at a discounted rate. Gifts from individuals and corporations, furthering your gift through your employer match program, or attending a fundraising event, all add up to the critical funds we need to support our members.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Volunteers run our dedicated events like the King Challenge Cycling fundraiser and our member Holiday Gift Shop in December. Krempels volunteers also share the areas of expertise and knowledge they have by facilitating group enrichment classes for members. Please visit kbicenter.org/help/volunteer.
