Turning Purpose into Progress

​

In 2019, we established Bob’s Funds Against Stroke Trauma (BeFAST), a 501(c)3 nonprofit born from a simple but vital mission: to turn stroke awareness into action. Our name is a nod to the B.E. F.A.S.T. acronym—the life-saving checklist for recognizing stroke symptoms:

Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, and Time

Transitioning to a nonprofit has allowed us to dream bigger. It opened the door to incredible partnerships with local businesses and sponsors.

 

​Your Impact in Action

When you support BeFAST, you are fueling a comprehensive approach to stroke awareness and recovery. Your generosity is transformed into life-changing initiatives across three key pillars:

 

Education & Prevention
We turn awareness into action by teaching our community the B.E. F.A.S.T. warning signs. Since 80% of strokes are preventable, your support also helps us provide the tools and education needed to reduce risk and save lives before a crisis occurs.

 

Innovation & Research
We invest in the future of medicine. By funding groundbreaking neurological research and emerging medical technologies, your contributions help leading experts discover new and faster ways to triage, treat, and manage stroke.

 

Recovery & Support
The journey doesn’t end at the hospital. We partner with premier institutions like UPENN and Capital Health to fund the vital programs and resources that help families navigate the complexities of life after a stroke.

 

Drive the Mission Forward

BeFAST isn't just an organization; it’s a community of people who believe in making a difference. Your support, whether through a donation or simply spreading the word is the engine that keeps this mission moving forward.

We are deeply grateful for your interest in supporting our cause!
