About Our Foundation
The BrendaBear Foundation was birthed through witnessing the merciless pain and neglect our honoree, the Late Brenda Jean Harrison-Jones endured while in the healthcare system. Brenda dedicated herself to serving others. She was a community servant and teacher for 45 years, providing education and support to Pre-K students and disabled youth Brenda also served as a Camp Fisher Counselor and Assistant Director and was a Girl Scout Troop Leader of Genesee-Valley. Her commitment to education and nurturing young minds left a lasting impact on the lives she touched and through her memory we are dedicated to advocating policy changes that would hold healthcare facilities accountable for a delay of care. Our movement and non-profit organization is dedicated to raising awareness about the profound consequences of living with severe chronic pain and the effects it has on the family as a whole. Through our efforts, we strive to improve the quality of life for those affected by chronic pain and to ensure that no one suffers needlessly due to inadequate pain management.
