Join Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity on November 10th for the I:CE Event!

Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity Description of Event
Today there are over 2.7 million Americans living with epilepsy. For more than one third of these people, existing treatments are not enough to control their seizures. The Epilepsy Therapy Development Project is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation, which has raised more than $5 million dollars towards finding better treatments for people with epilepsy, but we need your help.

The I:CE Event – Initiative: Cure Epilepsy - is a 5K Run/Walk to help raise awareness and funds for the Epilepsy Therapy Development Project, whose mission is to advance new therapies for people living with epilepsy.

Whether you run, walk, sprint, skip or want to leisurely stroll through the course, please come out and enjoy a spirited morning of fun and exercise - meet some old and new friends and join us to help support research in epilepsy!
