November is Epilepsy Awareness Month and we are looking for at least 26 schools and businesses to host an Epilepsy Awareness (Dress Down) Day to help us spread awareness!

Did you know that 1 in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime? That could include your family, friends, coworkers, and community members. Facing the daily challenges of living with seizures can feel isolating for people with epilepsy, but having the support from the community can make a huge difference!

Use the links below for tips on how to host a Dress Down Day at your school or business. You will be able to receive bracelets* and to raise awareness and funds to support the epilepsy community. Each link provides a letter with more detailed explanation and flyers that can be used to advertise your awareness day.

If you host an Epilepsy Awareness (Dress Down) Day, we encourage you to wear as much purple as possible and take pictures of your group! You can share photos with us and we may feature you in our newsletter or social media pages.

Contact Cristina or Sarah if you have any questions at cwhite@eawcp.org or skuhns@eawcp.org, or call (717) 730-6779.

Thank you for supporting your community members who have epilepsy and for allowing us the opportunity to offer support to the community.

*Bracelets will be available while supplies last.
