Red Bank Catholic is a vibrant, beloved, Catholic co-educational institution with a storied history, an extraordinary spirit and a record of achievement in the classroom and beyond. Our over 800 students come from over 50 towns and 60 schools. They are young men and women of competence, compassion, commitment and curiosity and together with over 14,000 alumni, they make up the “Casey Family.”

The Brain Injury Alliance of NJ (the Alliance) is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to improving quality of life after brain injury, and offering the promise of a better tomorrow.

Since being founded in 1981 by a small group of concerned parents of children who had sustained brain injury, we’ve grown to become the primary source of information, education, advocacy, support, and hope for people with brain injury and their families in New Jersey. Today, our dedicated staff, board, volunteers, donors, and community partners provide service to 10,000 New Jersey residents each year.

The U Got Brains Champion Schools Program is an opportunity for students and staff of New Jersey high schools to develop campaigns to address teen driving safety. Each school develops its own project based on a topic pertaining to teen driving safety. The top three winning schools will each receive $10,000 for their school courtesy of NJM Insurance Group. Participating schools receive a cash stipend and technical support to assist with their campaigns, and advisors receive professional development hours.  New for this year: Due to COVID and the uncertainty of school schedules, this year’s program will challenge teams of students to create social media campaigns and virtual presentations or gatherings that can be shared within their schools and communities and across social media platforms. This year we will celebrate the good works of the schools and announce the winners at a Virtual Awards Showcase.
