The 9 neurosurgeons who make up Team NREF-NeuROW have done some heavy lifting to prepare for this weekend. Now, they're asking you to come along for the ride as they conquer the 2026 Head of the Charles Regatta. secure.qgiv.com/event/nref-n…

Did you know you can give to the NREF with a donor-advised fund (DAF)? A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows contributors to add assets, get an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants over time. The NREF is excited to be part of this year's giving day, and we can't wait to see what DAFs will do this year. If you have a DAF, help us celebrate #DAFDay by recommending a distribution from your fund to NREF.
