As we approach the end of the year, it’s a season to reflect on what matters most—our community, our health, and the impact we can make in the lives of others. At the Epilepsy Foundation of Georgia, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support that allows us to provide critical resources, education, and advocacy for the 110,000 Georgians living with epilepsy and seizure disorders.

Your generosity helps fuel our mission to ensure no one in Georgia has to face epilepsy alone. Thanks to your support this year, we’ve been able to:

• Trained more than 500 school nurses, staff, bus drivers and community members on Seizure First Aid and Aj’s Law.
  – This included people in Bibb, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton, Lumpkin, Macon, Polk & Wayne counties.
• Celebrated 20 years of Taste of Love and the 40th Magnolia Run
• Launched the Ammon’s Horn Society for medical professionals in the Neurology field

But there is so much more to do. Epilepsy doesn’t take a holiday break, and neither do we. That’s why we’re asking for your help to finish the year strong. Every dollar donated goes directly toward programs and services that improve lives, empower individuals, and bring hope to families impacted by epilepsy.

Why Give Before the Year Ends?
Your year-end contribution not only helps us continue this vital work but also provides you with the opportunity for a charitable tax deduction if you give by December 31. It’s a win-win—helping others while supporting your personal financial goals.
