Description
The mission of the THINK FIRST Foundation is to prevent brain and spinal cord injuries among teens and young adults through the education of individuals, community leaders and the creators of public policy. Since its inception in 1986 the program has educated young people about personal vulnerability and risk taking. The message is that you can have a fun-filled, exciting life, without hurting yourself if you "THINK FIRST" and use your mind to protect your body.
