Brain injury is a lifelong injury. Unfortunately, it remains the leading cause of death and disability in America’s children and adults ages 1 to 44. . Opportunity Project proudly culminates our 30th year of providing programs and services to people who have sustained a brain injury and to their families, as well as providing local, regional and national awareness initiatives for communities, schools and corporations Prevention is the only cure.

5.3 million people in the U.S. live with long-term disabilities as a result of brain injury. The Opportunity Project Clubhouse is and always has been a pioneer in the brain injury field offering stellar programs and services, a universally accessible state-of-the-art facility and highly dedicated and qualified staff. We provide survivors of brain injury with opportunities to build cognitive skills, vocational skills, self-esteem and confidence in their ability to accomplish productive activities and to lead fulfilling lives.

This year’s Golf Classic is particularly special as we pay tribute to our Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Marc Berson. Since 1993, he invested significant time and resources into the organization and with support of friends and family, like you, has successfully grown the program from its beginnings in a conference room to its now 14,000 square foot facility. His vision and dedication have been a driving force behind the success of OP and in establishing the 2019 partnership with Children’s Specialized Hospital in the RWJBarnabas Healthcare System. Founding Opportunity Project was his “proudest accomplishment.”

Your support will enable OP to continue its work on behalf of individuals with brain injury.
