Greetings CURE Epilepsy community,

Unite to CURE Epilepsy, our virtual community
fundraising event, is only two short weeks away!
I hope you will join us on Friday, September 17th 
at 7pm CT for this free event that will bring
together the community from around the world to help raise funds for research to find cures for the many types of epilepsy. For more information and to register to participate, click here.

Unite to CURE Epilepsy will be hosted by award-winning journalist, contributor to MSNBC’s Morning Joe Mike Barnicle and feature Nils Lofgren, Miguel Cervantes, Chef Rick Bayless, and others, for an evening filled with engaging entertainment, moving stories from the epilepsy community, and promising updates from leading researchers.  

We’d like to also invite you to host a Watch Party for your friends and family. Whether it's 4 people in your living room or 40 in your backyard, a Watch Party is a great way to bring people together and share in the evening. Just check the box to host a watch party when you complete the registration form. As an Official Watch Party Host, you will receive a special packet containing additional information, educational materials, and more to help make your Unite to CURE Epilepsy viewing experience even better!

Become a Champion

Watch the Summit
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 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.
