2005 Distinguished Achievement Awards Gala

Update Posted: April 1, 2005

The Epilepsy Foundation is pleased to announce the Distinguished Achievement Awards Gala 2005 which will take place on May 26 at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers, New York City. The Gala will honor Cyberonics, Inc., and its CEO, Robert “Skip” Cummins, whose innovation and commitment at both a national and local level have made a real difference in the lives of millions living with epilepsy and seizures.  Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, who stars on "Eyes," the new ABC television detective series, will emcee the event.

We are planning a wonderful evening of fun, good company, and the pleasure of paying tribute to organizations and individuals who care about our cause and have been dedicated supporters of the Foundation's work on behalf of people with epilepsy for many years.

Proceeds of the event will benefit the Epilepsy Foundation and the Epilepsy Foundation – New York City. You can support the event through ticket and table purchases, by advertising in the event journal or by donating items for the silent auction.
