The GRAND PRIZE WINNER was The Buzzards Band from Holly Springs High School They will open for a headliner of similar genre at Raleigh’s famous Lincoln Theatre. Food Trucks were available! Topic related booths included Dementia Alliance, Gfeller Concussion Center at UNC, Duke Sports Concussion Center, Wake Med Concussion Program, Poe Center, Brain Injury Association of NC (BIANC) and the Triangle Aphasia Project were on hand to demonstrate some of the amazing resources we have right here in the Triangle.

My name is Charlotte Fullbright and I am a sophomore Park Scholar majoring in Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology at North Carolina State University. With a maternal grandfather affected by a brain hemorrhage stroke, and a history of dementia in my family, I have a personal connection to the subject of neurological health. As an athlete, I am well aware of the focus on prevention and treatment of concussion. Research is ongoing to identify ways to prevent and treat neurological disorders. I am excited about the opportunity to help!
This year, the Maintain Your Brain Battle of the Bands will increase awareness of mental health, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury and concussion.

This year, the Maintain Your Brain Battle of the Bands will increase awareness of mental health, stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury and concussion.
Funds raised will benefit the Triangle Aphasia Project. "Imagine there’s a file cabinet in your head. In it is stored all the words you know and love and use to communicate daily, with everyone, about everything. They’re all in place, each organized by its grammatical nuances and ready to grab and speak, read or write. Suddenly, though, the file cabinet tips over, scattering all the words you know and love and use onto the floor in front of you, disorganized and unreachable. Cognitively, you’re intact. So is your intellect. You know what you want to say and how you should say it, but you can’t access the right words in the right way to utter the words, or sometimes read or write them.
That’s what it’s like for someone who rises from a stroke or other brain injury with aphasia, a mild to severe communication disorder that disrupts a person’s ability to use or understand words, said speech pathologist Maura English Silverman, founder of Triangle Aphasia Project, or TAP."
