Justin Tuck and Ryan Grant Pledge Their Support
to the IES Brain Research Foundation

During a dinner meeting on Thursday, April 22nd 2010, NFL stars Justin Tuck of the NY Giants and Ryan Grant of the Green Bay Packers declared to IES Brain Research Foundation President Faye Simon Harac, their desire to support the IES Brain Research Foundation. Tuck and Grant expressed their desire to help advance research leading to treatments and cures for brain diseases and disorders. The players communicated a particular interest in concussions and Alzheimer’s disease; areas of growing concern to them and their fellow players. Tuck and Grant were also enthusiastic about the Foundation’s summer fellowship program designed to attract bright young minds to the field of basic brain research. 

Thank you to Lee Rouson, former NY Giant and two time Super Bowl champ, for supporting the IES Brain Research Foundation family. We are happy and appreciative of Lee Rouson's interest in helping this volunteer run non-profit. Golf outing participants had a chance to meet Lee Rouson on May 16th and speak with him as well as join him in a putting contest. Lee Rouson will continue to work with and support the goals of the Foundation to find cures to serious brain diseases such as brain cancer, etc.
