Hawaiian Oyster Odysseys (HOOs) are annual fundraising events organized by the Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC) in partnership with other like-minded organizations. They are made possible purely through volunteer efforts and are held across the country. They are envisioned to be a time of fun and learning.

It is our aim to create an atmosphere of celebration while increasing awareness of the impact of brain injuries. The HOOs are also a time for survivors and families to meet and network with medical experts, community leaders, public figures, business professionals and the media. Survivor stories, oyster bars, mystery prizes and tropical cocktails make it an exciting evening, in line with the Hawaiian theme.

Most importantly, it increases awareness about the work of brain injury associations across Canada.
