Branch Out Foundation

Today, we celebrate Kim McLelland, who is departing Branch Out after 2.5 years of exceptional leadership as our Director of Marketing and Operations. Thank you Kim, for your passion, expertise, and lasting impact. You'll always be a Branchy, and we wish you every future success!

Bike Tour photos are LIVE! flic.kr/s/aHBqjCX5sb Thank you to everyone who rode, donated, volunteered, and supported the 15th Annual Branch Out Bike Tour. We're still reliving all the incredible moments! Together, 220 riders raised an amazing $270,000 for brain health research.

We're beyond grateful to every rider, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, donor, and supporter who made this possible. Every dollar raised advances brain health research and brings hope to those affected by neurological conditions.

Your brain is only 2% of your body weight and yet it uses ~20% of your energy. Most of that energy isn’t for thinking, but for essential behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly. #didyouknow #brainfacts #smallbutmighty #branchoutnf #yourbrain
