WHO WE ARE and
HOW YOUR BIDDING HELPS

The Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to serving people with epilepsy in 22 counties of northeastern New York, including the Capital Region, North Country, and Upper Hudson Valley. 

Our mission is to lead the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives.

Proceeds from this event will help fund the programs and services we provide, including information and referral, service coordination, counseling, support groups, school education, and advocacy for individuals with epilepsy and their families.  We also provide information about epilepsy to professionals in the community through our in-service training programs.

If you or someone you know is in need of our services, please call us at (518) 456-7501.  For more information about epilepsy and the services we provide, please visit our web site at www.epilepsy.com/northeastern-new-york.
