Johnson & Johnson Inc. are pleased to announce a virtual 2021 fundraiser! Once again, all funds will be in support of the Shoot for a Cure campaign, dedicated to funding awareness, research, and the prevention of brain and spinal cord injuries. The Shoot for a Cure campaign is run by the Canadian and American Spinal Research Organization and StopConcussions Foundation. New to the event this year is the Connected Mental Health Initiative, to raise awareness on mental health.
OUR GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO RAISE $130,000 USD FOR NEUROTRAUMA INJURIES.
