What an amazing evening we shared on December 9th for our 3rd Annual Phoenix Knuckle Ball…A Pitch for Life gala, supporting brain aneurysm, AVM and hemorrhagic stroke patient services and education!

JNF is committed to providing education and services to patients and aiding in the research and treatment of brain aneurysms, AVM’s and hemorrhagic strokes. Our goal is to raise awareness about the risk factors, causes and treatments of these conditions, while helping support the advancement of neurological research. We provide public education, services, and support for patients and families, as well as educational materials for hospitals, clinics and other institutions nationwide.

We believe that emotional support is a vital part of recovery. The JNF Patient Services Program, which includes both in-person and online support forums, provides a variety of benefits, including mutual support, understanding and acceptance, non-judgmental listening, information, validation of feelings, role models, and much more. Our groups offer a safe haven for patients, families, friends, and caregivers to share their fears, challenges, successes, and failures in an atmosphere where they are loved and accepted by all.

The evening paid tribute to those who have lost their lives to these devastating conditions, while honoring the survivors fighting everyday to recover. Festivities featured a cocktail reception, silent auction, formal dinner, event program, LIVE auction, and post program musical entertainment from The Groove Merchants.

We look forward to welcoming you at this year’s Phoenix Knuckle Ball…A Pitch for Life.
