Greetings Epilepsy Community,
As we bask in the sun and fun of the summer season, I can’t help but look ahead to everything CURE Epilepsy has in store for the community in the coming months. First, we are super excited to share that we will be running a public service announcement to raise awareness of epilepsy on EPSN in late July during The Basketball Tournament. I am grateful for any opportunity to raise awareness around what epilepsy is, who is impacted, and why we need to fund more research. Stay tuned for more details on when it will air in an email next week!
We are also currently in the process of reviewing letters of intent for the second year of our Rare Epilepsy Partnership Award, which we hope will lead to a better understanding of rare epilepsies that impact our community. In September, we will host Epilepsy Awareness Night at a Chicago White Sox game where we will raise awareness of epilepsy and the need for research, while enjoying some wonderful weather (fingers crossed) and a fun game! Also in September, for those of you who tuned in for our virtual Unite to CURE Epilepsy programs in 2020, 2021, and/or 2022, you will be happy to know Unite to CURE Epilepsy will be returning with some fun new features. And we have much planned for October, November, and December too!
As we enter the back half of our 25th anniversary year, I’m honored to have opportunities to gather with so many of you (both live and virtually), celebrate the successes of the past 25 years, and look ahead at the promising future of epilepsy research. Thank you again for your continued support.
With a commitment to inspire hope and deliver impact,
