Making connections and building meaningful relationships can be an important part of living a happy and healthy life.

This is a drop-in group with weekly planned topics to facilitate conversation about issues that are important to people living with epilepsy. Our hope is to provide a space for our community members to meet others with epilepsy and have an opportunity to share their experiences and coping strategies.

Giving Tuesday
2021-11-30
Give someone the #GiftofHope this Giving Tuesday
We’re putting our own spin on Giving Tuesday with the #GIFTOFHOPE, a special fundraiser that empowers you to to help support the 1 in 100 people living with epilepsy throughout Southwestern Ontario this holiday season and beyond.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering. It’s a time when people all over the globe rally together for the causes they care about. There is no better time to think locally and make a difference right in your community.
3 Ways to Get Involved on Giving Tuesday
Donate
Support a child with epilepsy by providing their entire classroom with education about epilepsy and seizure first aid with a donation of just $50. Imagine the peace of mind this would bring to the student with epilepsy in the classroom.
Crowdfund
Share our crowdfunding page with family and friends.
Post an #UNselfie
Post an unselfie telling your friends why you support us. (An unselfie is just like a selfie, but with a generous twist. Take a photo of yourself holding a sign that tells your followers who you’re supporting for #GivingTuesday and why.)
Learn more about what we have going on for Giving Tuesday by heading to our Giving Tuesday landing page here.
