On Wednesday morning, October 14, more than 200 supporters and stakeholders gathered in a 40 x 130 foot air-conditioned tent located in the future location of the Center for BrainHealth’s brain gym, the Brain Performance Institute. The now empty parking lot adjacent to the Center for BrainHealth headquarters will be transformed into a gorgeous 62,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility. Among those in attendance for the presentation and remarks were former NFL players Chad Hennings and Daryl “Moose” Johnston, Jennifer Clifford, Brent Christopher, John McStay, Lyda Hill, Sandra Bond Chapman, PhD., Nancy and Randy Bess, Paul Divis, Emy Lou and Jerry Baldridge, T. Boone Pickens, Randa Safady, PhD., Carter Tolleson, John Tolleson, Nancy and Robert Wilbur, Diane and Scott Sealy, Mary McDermott Cook, Kay Hammond, Sue and Pryor Blackwell, and Minnie and Bill Caruth III. The groundbreaking moment was met with a standing ovation and cheers. Immediately following the program, guests filed to the back of the tent where a reception outfitted with mini construction cones, dump trucks and loaders awaited them.
