We want to give a BIG THANK YOU to the Cunneens for being such
amazing Champions and raising over $85k at the 6th annual Ella’s Race event! They brought their whole neighborhood together and
surpassed their goal of $50k! We truly appreciate all of your support.
Whether you’re an established CURE Epilepsy Champion like the Cunneens or looking to create your first Champion event, check out our virtual summit ([link removed]) to hear fundraisers’ stories on why and who they raise money for, and creative ideas for your own event. You’ll learn strategies, tips, and tricks from some of our most successful CURE Epilepsy Champions. Every fundraiser held helps us raise crucial dollars for epilepsy research, and no event is too big or too small. Whether it’s a lemonade stand that raises $8 or an event like Ella’s race that raises over $85k, every dollar raised brings us a step closer to a cure.
