Firstgiving is an online system that allows people to fundraise for their favorite organization. Creating an online fundraising page takes 5 minutes — that’s it!

As the host, you can personalize a campaign by writing about your event or share your story. You can even add photos and videos! Celebrate birthdays, weddings, or host an event to honor that someone special. Or, organize a marathon, a walkathon, or even a golf or softball tournament! If you like to bake, organize a bake sale. Be creative! It’s your event, and you are in charge.

Donations can be made from friends and family and colleagues by credit card. They can leave personal messages for you on the campaign page too! Each time a donation is made, the host is notified, and an automatic customizable thank you email is sent. It’s quick, easy and secure. It’s great fun too.

All donations are sent to the Epilepsy Therapy Project, minus a small transaction fee. Ready to get started? Visit:
