What are you going to be doing on the afternoon of Halloween? Some kind-hearted people will be participating in a walk, for a spooky great cause.
On Saturday October 31st from 1pm to 3pm, the Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia is putting on an Epilepsy awareness stroll in Williamsburg and Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The walk will begin at Matthew Whaley Elementary School, 301 Scotland Street, Williamsburg, Va and the Virginia beach location is Mt. Trashmore, Shelter 1, 310 Edwin Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
For anyone one who plans on traveling to Virginia, there will be information about epilepsy, a raffle and refreshments and Halloween costumes are encouraged(especially for the kids)! The best part of course, it that you will be helping to raise money for:
- Professional education for educators, childcare personnel, bus drivers, law enforcement agencies, employers, seniors and senior caregivers.
- One-time medication assistance
- Transportation assistance
- Help with general epilepsy related emergencies
- Online booklets and training programs
- Public education using TV and radio
- Programs for children: Use a Helmet, Prevent Epilepsy and puppet shows
- Support groups
- Volunteer network
