Wellness Walk & Community Event at Bryant U – with the Brain Injury Association of RI

BIARI to Host Wellness Walk & Community Event at Bryant University

The Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island (BIARI) invites the community to its annual Wellness Walk & Community Event on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Bryant University.

This energizing, family-friendly event brings together survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community members for a day of wellness, connection, and support. Attendees will enjoy a scenic outdoor walk, yoga and mindfulness activities, community resource tables, raffles, and opportunities to connect with local providers and organizations.

“Events like the Wellness Walk remind us that no one navigating brain injury is alone,” said Executive Director Elle Miller. “It’s a powerful day where community, healing, and hope come together.”

Proceeds from the event directly support BIARI’s statewide programs, including resource navigation and support services, education and prevention initiatives, training for professionals and first responders, community outreach and awareness. Each year, BIARI serves thousands of Rhode Islanders living with traumatic and acquired brain injuries—helping individuals access care, regain independence, and improve quality of life.
