The Inspiration
Tony Meduri, Ann-Marie Tucker, and her youngest son Chase.
As the CEO and founder of The Tony Meduri TBI Fund Inc, I have been raising awareness of traumatic brain injuries since my father suffered and eventually died from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). I am also the mother of two boys who love and play sports. However, the number of concussions suffered in youth sports is estimated to be as high as 1.9 million per year, which is staggering. Concussions are a mild TBI and can happen in almost any sport, at any moment. Like all parents, I want to protect my kids as much as possible. The struggle between protecting my children and letting them play youth sports, which have many benefits, led to the inspiration for our Play It, Protect It Campaign.
The Play It, Protect It Campaign goal is to promote helmet safety & concussion prevention in youth sports. Through donations,sponsorship, and our annual fundraising event we can raise funds to help purchase the best helmets on the market and provide to youth’s in need. We also plan to raise awareness in the community about brain injury in youth sports and actions needed to help prevent brain injuries. You can help! Donate or purchase Play it Protect it Gear and you will help spread our message and support our mission! Brains matter and so do our youth!
— Ann-Marie Tucker, Founder of the Tony Meduri TBI Fund, Inc.
