September 30, 2025 is our annual day of giving — UNITE to CURE Epilepsy! More than ever before, CURE Epilepsy and our community of supporters must accelerate life-saving epilepsy research.
This year, we’re taking you to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Neural Signal Processing and Modeling Lab to meet Dr. Rachel June Smith, CURE Epilepsy Taking Flight grantee, and her team of early career researchers. They are working to localize seizures and develop brain stimulation techniques that may one day cure focal epilepsy. Their work is urgent — and it relies on your generosity. With federal funding for epilepsy research in jeopardy, supporting CURE Epilepsy ensures funding opportunities for epilepsy researchers and keeps innovative science moving forward.
Thanks to a generous matching gift from the Brackenridge families, every dollar given in honor of UNITE to CURE Epilepsy in 2025 will be DOUBLED up to $35,000.
