Upcoming Events

The Epilepsy Foundation of Kansas and Western Missouri provides a variety of activities throughout the year. This foundation receives no federal or state dollars to implement their services and programs. While raising money is important, raising awareness about the disorder and dispelling the many myths and misunderstandings about people who have epilepsy/seizure disorders remains a priority for this foundation.

The fund raising activities are fun and provide an opportunity for people to learn about epilepsy. The Education Information Forums provide a forum for people who have epilepsy and their family, friends, neighbors, and anyone interested in learning more about the disorder.

From the National Mall to Oak Park Mall - 3rd Annual Walk for Epilepsy

The 3rd Annual National Walk for Epilepsy will be simultaneously occurring at the National Mall in Washington DC and locally at the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, KS. The 5k walk at Oak Park will happen from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. inside the mall (rain or shine). We need help on the committee and all the walkers we can get. Our local goal is to raise $50,000. Contact Sean Taylor at 816-444-2800 for more information.
