Wells Fargo’s Redmond branch recently donated a signed Russell Wilson Seattle Seahawks jersey to the Brain Injury Alliance of Washington. From left to right, Jessica Giordano, director of support programs for the alliance; Deborah Crawley, executive director of the alliance; and Nita Ku, business specialist at Wells Fargo’s Redmond branch.

Wells Fargo won the jersey in a community campaign and donated it to the nonprofit of their choice. According to Crawley, a Wells Fargo employee’s mother suffered an injury and this exchange is in support of her.

At the alliance’s fundraiser gala at the Westin Hotel in Seattle, a waiter who was serving the attendees won the jersey with a $1,500 bid. Crawley said the waiter is a brain-injury survivor and also donated cash to the alliance at last year’s gala.

The alliance supports prevention and services of brain injuries, which includes its national work with youth concussion prevention in sports.
