Tribute Fund
Put Yourself in My Place
My place is Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse, where we rebuild lives after brain injury by focusing on the strengths and abilities of our members.
With 1.7 million new brain injuries each year in the U.S., you probably know or will know someone who needs our help. Chances are, their stories may be similar to our stories.
Make a Tribute Fund gift to honor someone special
You can honor a loved one and support the work and mission of Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse with a gift to the Tribute Fund. The money raised through the Tribute Fund will be used to support persons with brain injury in their transition from medical patients to contributing community members.
It’s easy to make a gift to the Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse’s Tribute Fund in memory of a loved one, in tribute of an accomplishment or to recognize a milestone in someone’s life.
What is the Side by Side Tribute Fund?
It is a fund that serves three purposes:
- It is a convenient way for you to memorialize, honor, or celebrate people and events you care about.
- Each gift “pays it forward” as Clubhouse members realize their own value to the community as they personally acknowledge each honoree and supporter while building administrative skills by processing each gift to the Tribute Fund.
- Donations made to the Tribute Fund are dedicated to providing scholarships so that adults disabled by brain injuries in need of support can receive it regardless of their ability to pay program fees.
How does the Tribute Fund work?
You can make a single donation in tribute to your loved one, or you can establish your very own Tribute Fund Account. It’s easy to set up, and Side by Side will keep up with it for you. You could make donations to your Tribute Fund Account on an ongoing basis, then just let us know the occasions you’d like acknowledged.
We’ll let you know when your Tribute Fund Account is running low, and you can choose whether or not to refill it to keep your tribute requests flowing, perhaps to celebrate your wife’s birthday, your husband’s promotion or show you care about your coworker’s loss of a loved one.
Deposit any amount in your Tribute Fund Account.

Testimonials

Just had to send you a note for sending Colleen our way. We have never had anybody as conscientious and dedicated to her work as Colleen. She is always on time and goes out of her way to accommodate others in the Office. Thanks for sending Colleen and the wonderful work done at Side By Side.

The Clubhouse is a treasured and unusual resource. It provides experiences that I, as a professional, cannot. Working as part of a community, a person learns to value others, to value him or herself. The Clubhouse provides a safe and respectful space in which patients become people again.
Dr. M. Rusin, psychologist serving brain injured clients -
As regards staff and volunteers the Clubhouse offers a terrific opportunity for meaningful service to our fellow man. Families and society are well served when a member who was providing meaningful contributions to his family before his accident or set-back is re-empowered and regains his self worth.
Irvine, Clubhouse volunteer -
The Clubhouse produces winners on all sides. Those who provide service and those who receive service benefit from the Clubhouse. It provides a positive environment where every member is treated as an individual and where the member is invested in the therapy offered to get that member sufficiently functional for him to re-enter society as a functioning individual.
Irvine, Clubhouse volunteer -
Side By Side means so much to me and my family. As the wife of a member, I am so thankful for the role Side By Side plays in my husband’s continued growing and adapting to life with a brain injury. As a volunteer, my family is rewarded ten fold every time we do something for the clubhouse in smiles alone!
Laurie, wife of Clubhouse member -
Side by Side Brain Injury Clubhouse is a true gem within the field of rehabilitation and community support for adults with traumatic or acquired brain injury. Side by Side helps members regain their sense of self and move forward to become productive and contributing members of society, with the support, love and care of the other members, staff and volunteers, family members, and even the community.
Dr. D. Berens, rehabilitation consultant -
The Clubhouse has been a wonderful place for her to re-learn socialization skills that were lost due to her traumatic brain injury. The Clubhouse has been a lifesaver for my daughter.
Mother of a Clubhouse member -
My husband began attending Side by Side 1½ years ago, and after a long nine year journey with brain injury, Side by Side was a breath of fresh air. When he is helped, it benefits our whole family.
Wife of a Clubhouse member -
I found a place where I can belong. It means a lot to me to have friends, comrades who have been through similar experiences.
Richie, Clubhouse member -
The members and staff are steadfast support to me and I feel great on a day when I have accomplished my goals.
