For families raising a child with a brain injury, the journey can feel incredibly isolating. Between therapies, hospital visits, adaptive equipment, and constant advocacy, it’s easy to lose sight of connection. That’s why the Team Luke Hope for Minds Making Connections Pediatric Brain Injury Conference & Resource Fair is so vital: it brings families together to access expert resources, feel understood, and find hope.


This year, AccessFares, a leader in luxury international and domestic travel, stepped up in a powerful way by sponsoring travel for five families to attend the 2025 conference in person. For families managing the ongoing expenses of caregiving, travel costs are often a barrier, but thanks to this generous sponsorship, those worries were lifted.


“I cannot say enough how transformative, positive, and life-changing the conference was for me. Without it, I wouldn’t have the friends that I do now. I can’t imagine life without them.” — Talia Sites, Pennsylvania

A Travel Scholarship That Changed Lives


Each family sponsored by AccessFares received 100% coverage of their travel expenses—airfare and hotel stays—making it possible to participate in two powerful days of education and community building.


At the conference, families have the chance to:

  • Attend sessions led by top pediatric brain injury experts

  • Learn about the latest in therapies, special education, and advocacy

  • Connect with other parents and caregivers facing similar challenges

  • Access inclusive childcare and relief resources tailored to their child’s needs


AccessFares’ support directly enabled these families to gain knowledge, support, and a renewed sense of belonging, a gift that will have a lasting impact far beyond the weekend.
