Welcome to the

ThinkFirst Foundation

Leading Injury Prevention Through Education, Research and Policy

 

Each year, an estimated 500,000 persons in the United States sustain a brain or spinal cord injury. In fact, injury is the leading cause of death among children and teens. The most frequent causes of these injuries are motor vehicle crashes, violence, falls, sports and recreation. The good news is that most injuries are preventable! The ThinkFirst National Injury Prevention Foundation's award-winning, evidence-based programs are aimed at helping people learn to reduce their risk for injury.

Visit our website often to learn about ThinkFirst events, ThinkFirst Chapter locations for scheduling school programs, and ordering educational products. We also invite you to be a partner in prevention by supporting ThinkFirst events and contributing through honorary or memorial donations. Working together, we can play a significant role in helping kids learn to "ThinkFirst!" Learn more . . .

 

 

Neurosurgeon, Dr. Jim Lowe, races for ThinkFirst!

We are excited to have JLowe Racing, Siemens GigasetVoices and Enviro Packaging Solutions teaming up in support of the ThinkFirst Foundation! They kicked off the campaign at the 2010 Grand-Am Rolex 24 at Daytona in January. Is there someone special you would you like to honor or remember by planting a tree? Donors will receive a tree seed planting kit with every $10 donation. Go green while supporting injury prevention!
