Founded in 1971, the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama is a chapter of the Epilepsy Foundation of America, a network of nearly 50 partners throughout the United States. The Foundation is leading the fight to END EPILEPSY® in Alabama by connecting people to treatment, support and resources; leading advocacy efforts; funding innovative research and the training of specialists; and educating the public about epilepsy and seizure first aid. The Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama seeks to improve the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy and seizures. In 2018, the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama expanded to Birmingham and now have staff in both Birmingham and Mobile. The organization is guided by a local advisory board.
Join the Walk to END EPILEPSY on Saturday, November 2 at Railroad Park in Birmingham and walk for the more than 54,000 families affected by epilepsy in Alabama. Funds raised from the Walk support our mission in Alabama. Participating in the Walk is a powerful way to be part of the fight to End Epilepsy, support programs and inspire others to join you. Because you walk, give and ask others to give, we are able to continue to offer vital programs and services and build our community through awareness and advocacy.
