Our 34th Annual Gala was scheduled to be held in the spring, but with the current pandemic, ESWO took necessary precautions and postponed this fundraising event. We are now hosting our Gala VIRTUALLY to raise funds and epilepsy awareness from the comfort of our own homes!

On Friday, November 6, 2020, from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, you are invited to join us live virtually for our Annual Gala! Take this opportunity to get dressed up, order from our dinner partner, and show your support for individuals and families affected by epilepsy across our community!

The event will be streamed LIVE, ticket holders will receive a hyperlink by email to attend. The evening will be hosted by CTV News London Reporter, Nick Paparella, and will include live entertainment, online silent auction, and recognition of our H.O.P.E. award recipient: The Oke Family. Our goal is to raise $35,000 to help support our Public Education Programs throughout Southwestern Ontario, and we truly need your support!

Where: The comfort of your own home.
When: Friday, November 6, 2020 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm.
