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.
