Description

Heads Up for Hope, Eagle County’s only traumatic brain injury (TBI) support group, will host a special fundraising event on Thursday, September 18, 2025, featuring keynote speaker Kevin Pearce, former professional snowboarder, traumatic brain disorder (TBI) survivor, and co-founder of the LoveYourBrain Foundation. 

Pearce will share his powerful story of resilience following a life-changing snowboarding accident that ended his Olympic aspirations and forever altered his path. His story highlights the often invisible and long-term impact of concussions and TBI—known as the “silent injury”—and the critical role that community support plays in recovery.
