Iowa Walks for Epilepsy

May 5, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

We have our annual Iowa Walks for Epilepsy coming up in Iowa City. The proceeds from this fundraising walk support Epilepsy Foundation Iowa in our mission to bring services, education, and support to our communities. Our services include trainings in schools, agencies, and correctional facilities for seizure recognition and first aid. Our theme this year is “Be 1 in 26” teams to raise $1000 because 1 in 26 people have epilepsy.

As a non-profit, the Epilepsy Foundation has always received state funding up until last year when the Iowa Dept of Public Health cut our funding by 60%. We are now running on funding from private donations as well as what we raise at fundraisers like our walks. Any help that your station can give to market our walk would be appreciated! I will also be submitting another application like this one for a walk we are having in Iowa City but our Waterloo walk needs the most help as this is the first year we have been able to host one there!
