The Irene and Eric Simon (IES) Brain Research Foundation is pleased to welcome, in their 10th anniversary year, former NY Giant and 2 Time Super Bowl champ, Eric Dorsey to the IES Brain Research Foundation family. Eric has expressed interest in helping IES Brain Research Foundation with their goal to advance research for brain disease cures. "This is a great charity with an important mission. I have a personal interest because having been a professional football player, I know how essential this research is to my teammates and to me."

The first event Eric Dorsey participated in and helped with was the 2014 Golf Outing & Dinner on June 19th at Lake Mohawk Golf Club in Sparta, NJ. IES Brain Research Foundation greatly appreciates Eric Dorsey's enthusiastic support.

We are pleased to include Eric Dorsey as a member of the IES Brain Research Foundation Honorary Board.

At a recent meeting with IES Brain Research Foundation president, Faye Simon Harac, undefeated professional boxer, Chris Algieri declared his interest in the IES Brain Research Foundations mission. Because athletes, especially Combat Athletes (Boxing, MMA, Kickboxing, etc.), risk the potential of brain injury due to traumatic injury or concussion, Chris Algieri has offered to help raise awareness and funds to help advance neuroscience research and education, to help find effective treatments and cures to serious brain disorders such as: Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases, TBI, brain cancer, PTSD, etc.

We are pleased to include Chris Algieri as a member of the IES Brain Research Foundation Honorary Board.

Chris Algieri, an enthusiastic advocate of IES Brain Research Foundation, spoke at our 2013 Lunch and Learn, and donated an autographed glove and photo. Chris will be donating an autographed glove and photo again this year as well as encouraging his fans to participate in events and support the Foundation. He will attend IES Brain Research Foundation events as his schedule allows.

Chris had a very important match, for a world title, on June 14th, 2014 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn that was broadcast live on HBO Boxing. Congratulations, Chris, on your first world title!

Joe Franklin pledges his enthusiastic support of the IES Brain Research Foundation and promises to "Do his part."
