Proposal Details:

Seeking $25,000 for research

Dear Sigma Beta Sorority Chapter:

Establishing the Sigma Beta Sorority Chair of Research with The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is a way to help fund critical research that will contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of aneurysm formation, improve early detection, provide better treatment modalities, and generate technological advances that will ultimately improve outcomes for patients with brain aneurysms.  The Sigma Beta Sorority Chair of Research will sponsor the research of two grant recipients for a year.

Brain aneurysms are a silent killer because most show no symptoms over time. Each year about 32,000 people will suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm. Over half of the victims will die and of those surviving only a third will recover without disabilities. While the vast majority of brain aneurysms occur in adults over 40, they can also strike children and young adults, often resulting in death.

Further research is urgently needed. The Sigma Beta Sorority Chair of Research will provide a unique opportunity for the donor to be involved in carefully selected research that will improve early detection, treatment options, and new technologies of brain aneurysms. Your donation of $25,000 will help save lives. Researchers will be honored knowing that the Sigma Beta Sorority Chair of Research selected them. Progress reports on all investigations are provided semi-annually.

Thank you for your support of this vital research.
