Epilepsy Association

With warm weather finally here, let's talk about swimming safety for epilepsy.

A seizure that happens in any depth of water, shallow or deep, always requires a 911 call. Inhaling water during a seizure can cause illness, heart issues, or even drowning.

Never swim alone. Better still, only swim with people who know how to help if you have a seizure.

Stay hydrated and stop swimming before you get physically tired.

Have a safe and fun summer!

In observance of Memorial Day, the Epilepsy Association is closed.

We hope everyone who has this day off enjoys their parades and family get-togethers, but we also hope that you take a moment to remember the fallen men and women of our military.

Invite your friends and family to walk or run with you at Outrace Epilepsy! on August 16! Remember to tell them that kids 5 & under register for free, and everyone's registration comes with free admission to the zoo after the event!

The captain of the largest team will be presented an award after all of the 10K, 5K, and 1-mile runners/walkers finish. Last year, that honor went to Luke's Troops, with over 100 members!

Your team can also fundraise! Each team has a customizable page with a donate button that you can share. All proceeds go towards free programs for adults with epilepsy and families of a child with epilepsy.

Our Annual Golf Outing wouldn't be possible without the support of our corporate partners! Thank you to Gilbane, Terrace Construction, and Precision Environmental Co. for being part of our outing and helping us continue our free programs for people with epilepsy in NE Ohio.

We are still accepting sponsors! There are opportunities to fit any budget. Potential benefits include your logo on hole signs, tickets for golfers, an ad in the program book, and more.
