The Epilepsy Foundation’s fundraising events are a great way to support people with epilepsy, build community, and have fun! Our annual events include a gala in the spring and five fundraising walks throughout our service region in the fall.
One in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime, and one in 26 will develop epilepsy. Every day, communities come together to raise funds to support programs for people with seizures.
Join the thousands who will walk across the state in the months of August and September, culminating at the Twin Cities Walk at Allianz Field. In 2022, we are hosting walks in eight cities across Minnesota — Bemidji, Duluth, Fargo/Moorhead, Mankato, Marshall, Rochester, St. Cloud, and the Twin Cities. The walks are the largest fundraising and awareness event in Minnesota to benefit people impacted by epilepsy. More information to come!
We are grateful for the support of our wonderful and engaged community, many of whom plan and host creative fundraising events throughout the year. We are pleased to offer our support of these events by providing materials and promoting them on our web calendar and social media whenever we can.

Hunter's openness about his epilepsy has led to strong support from those around him. This includes his family, but also his classmates who held a fundraiser to support his walk team.
