Donate $26 and help us spread awareness
Together, we can do this. Until we find cures:
We can END epilepsy stigma and discrimination
We can END treatment delays
We can END misdiagnosis
We can END the isolation and depression associated with epilepsy
We can END the lack of epilepsy specialists and access to care
We can END SUDEP – Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy.
I will GIVE 26 to END EPILEPSY
Our Mission
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.
1 in 26 could be anyone
Epilepsy strikes regardless of age

About us
In April 2016, the Epilepsy Alliance of Utah merged with the Epilepsy Foundation of America to become the Epilepsy Foundation Utah. We are an advocate and a leader in the education and support for individuals and families affected by Epilepsy.
Each year, we host events that raise awareness, promote advocacy , provide resources, and support groups for those throughout Utah who have epilepsy.
Yearly, we train more than 1500 individuals, some of these are fire, police, educators, students, general public, and families dealing with Epilepsy. They learn about the different types of Epilepsy, the proper first aid treatment and how to support those suffering from a seizure.
