Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, Mason, MI--Presents Survivor Speech Night on January 28, 2010 at Peckham, Inc. Greenhouse Building in Lansing.

The goal of Speech Night is to educate the community about traumatic brain injury (TBI) and personal experiences with TBI; to increase survivors and significant others’ awareness and acceptance of TBI-related deficits; to provide the opportunity for survivors to listen to each other’s experiences and discover they are not alone, to allow survivors and significant others time to celebrate the hard work and success made through rehabilitation and “a new beginning.”

Head's Up for Safety is a prevention event that offers free bike helmets for the first 500 kids in attendance. The focus is on helmet safety and prevention of brain injuries. Community partners, including Sinas Dramis Law Firm, ABC 3, WFMK 99.1FM, & Michigan Association for Justice, contribute to the success of the event. To date Head's Up has distributed over 2,600 helmets to Lansing area kids.

This year's event was located at the Marshall St Fire Station on the corner of Oakland and Marshall St. in Lansing.

The Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, Mason, MI--Presented Speech Night on January 17, 2008 at St. Mattnew Lutheran Church.

The Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center, Mason, MI—As part of Origami’s mission to be active participants in the local community we hold several activities and events throughout the year, we are active members of the Mason Chamber of Commerce, Lansing Chamber of Commerce, and local Lansing Chapter of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan, as well as many other community partnerships and involvements.

This past year, as part of the holiday season, we added another venture.  We asked our staff to identify key organizations in the Lansing area that support a similar mission with consideration for other populations served.  This year our staff chose to support Ele’s Place, the Capital Area Humane Society, and the Lansing City Rescue Mission. Donations were made in the staff’s name to each of these outstanding organizations.

The Grand Opening of Origami's Parish Studio was held on Friday, January 25th at the Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center.  The event featured a ribbon cutting ceremony with Origami staff, clients, & friends.  The studio is named after Jim Parish who donated the addition to the original woodshop & arts & crafts studio.  A big THANK YOU to Jim Parish and the Parish Corporation for making this possible.
