It's finally here! The 6th Annual Fight for the Brain is being held on Tuesday, August 10, 2021, to raise critical funds for the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS), an organization dedicated to conquering and curing brain tumors. Over the past six years, the event has raised almost $100,000 and is now the 5th largest community fundraiser for NBTS in the USA.

This event is held annually in honor of Amin Ramadan, my husband's father, who suffered from a meningioma (non-cancerous brain tumor) for many years prior to his passing in 2016. He was a vibrant, funny, kind, generous, and loving person, but the impact of the tumor made his final years extremely difficult for him and very painful for our family. This event is in his memory as we want to do whatever we can to ensure that other families may not have to deal with the pain caused by this terrible ailment.

The event usually takes place in May, but we pushed it back this year, hoping we could actually get a few people together. So, this year will be a hybrid event, held in person at Circa at Clarendon, and also virtually for those who cannot attend or are not local. The event will be packed with fun, food and drink specials, our annual raffle for local restaurant gift cards, and for the first time, we will be hosting a silent auction with amazing items (like a Stylebook Shopping Spree!).

Here are a few of the items that will be at the Silent Auction:

• Alexandria Stylebook Shopping Spree: Nearly $1,000 worth of gift cards and goodies from local Stylebook stores Alx&Co., Bellacara, Helen Olivia Flowers, Kiskadee, Monday's Child, The Patterson Group, Penny Post, Red Barn Mercantile, The Hive, and The Shoe Hive 

• Two Night Stay at the Salamander Resort & Spa

• Foursome at Westwood Country Club

• Two VIP Kesha Concert Tickets

• Two Courtside Seats to the U.S. Open

• Virginia Wine Country Limo Tour for Four

• Two Club Level Seats to the Virginia Tech vs. Pitt Game

A huge thank you to all of the Stylebook stores who helped create this fantastic shopping experience! If you'd like to attend the event to bid on any of the auction items, you can find all of the details here, or if you'd like to make a donation, you can do so here. Your gift will help NBTS advance best-in-class medical research to develop and deliver new innovative treatments and potential cures to brain tumor patients as quickly as possible. We will continue to be relentless in our support of the National Brain Tumor Society as they push to find better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for brain tumors.
