Social Events

Friendship shouldn’t be one more thing epilepsy makes harder.

Finding people who understand your journey can be difficult, even in the best of times. That’s why we create low-key, welcoming events across Minnesota where individuals and families impacted by epilepsy can connect, laugh, and just enjoy being together.

From game nights and bowling to picnics and baseball games, our social events offer a chance to make friends, try something new, and build community — one good memory at a time.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or just looking to meet people who get it, there’s a place for you here.

Help Build Community. Walk With Us.

Our biggest community event of the year, the United in Epilepsy Regional Walks take place through the summer and fall across our service area. These fun, family-friendly gatherings bring together people of all ages to raise awareness, fundraise together, share stories, and walk in support of a stronger epilepsy community.

There’s power in showing up — and strength in finding your community.

Whether you’re living with epilepsy, supporting a loved one, or simply looking to connect, you’ll find something here for you. Our events are designed to bring people together — to learn, laugh, share, and build the kind of community where no one feels alone.

Whether you’re interested in a Connect Group, a social event, or registering for one of our United in Epilepsy Walks, you can find and sign up for it here.

We host events throughout the year and across Minnesota, including virtual and in-person options. Most events are free or low-cost. If you’re facing a barrier to attending, reach out to us — we’ll do our best to help.
