As we enter 2020, the team at CURE wants to thank you. We want to thank you for your support through donating, fundraising, and participating in community events and programming. You truly give us hope – hope that together, we will build a world without epilepsy.
Because of your support in 2019, we will continue to push science forward by funding cutting-edge studies. In fact, you can see the latest innovative projects we’re funding in the areas of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), genetics, status epilepticus, and beyond here.
This year promises to be filled with novel research and exciting programming from CURE. Below you can find information about some of our 2020 programming, and of course, the latest from the Seizing Life podcast.
We want to empower you become an agent of change for the epilepsy community by helping to fund your education! Applications are open for Education Enrichment Fund (EEF) scholarships of up to $5,000.
EEF scholarships support coursework in scholars’ chosen career paths, so they can use their knowledge and skills to become agents of change in the epilepsy community. This one-time scholarship is awarded to those living with epilepsy or to family members and caregivers of those impacted by epilepsy.
EEF scholarships are made possible by the generous support of Greenwich Biosciences.
Race toward a world without epilepsy in 2020 by joining Team CURE! Whether you participate in a race that we’re an official charity partner with or represent CURE in a local run, you can move science closer to a world without epilepsy.
