Epilepsy Awareness Month
A March to make a difference.
- Crowdfunding: Our goal for March is to raise $10,000 through Crowdfunding Alberta. When donating though our Crowdfunding Alberta website, the Government of Alberta matches contributions by 50%, up to $5,000, ensuring that your donation has a maximum impact.
- 50/50: Our 50/50 Raffle is an opportunity to test your luck and make a difference in the lives of those affected by epilepsy. With each ticket you purchase, you not only increase your chances of winning half of the jackpot but also actively support epilepsy awareness initiatives, workshops and essential counselling for those living with epilepsy.
- Purple Day By Night: Join us on Friday, April 19th and immerse yourself in a world of creativity as live artists and musicians showcase their talents. Bid on unique artwork and participate in a vibrant silent auction, all against the backdrop of The Brownstone’s timeless charm.
Epilepsy Calgary provides programs, support services, and advocacy free of charge and with no wait-lists for more than 30,000 people living with epilepsy in Calgary and Southern Alberta.
Our Mission is to connect and support those living with or impacted by epilepsy, and improve their independence, quality of life, and community participation.
