The TBI Foundation invites you to an evening of music and purpose at Stuart's Opera House, featuring Eric Genuis, master pianist and founder of Concerts for Hope.
Experience the transformative power of music while supporting two vital causes: bringing hope and healing to the 'forgotten'—residents of homeless shelters, patients in VA hospitals, and those in prisons—and raising awareness and providing support for individuals and families affected by traumatic brain injuries.
