Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago
November is Epilepsy Awareness Month.
So It's the Perfect Time to...
TALK ABOUT IT! @ DINNER
Host your own dinner during the month of November to help raise awareness of epilepsy and to raise funds to support programs and services for the over 125,000 people living with epilepsy in the Greater Chicago area.
The idea behind Talk About It! @ Dinner is simple: It's YOU, having dinner with YOUR friends, talking about something that YOU care deeply about, all while raising money to ensure the continued availability of vital epilepsy services.
OK, I WANT TO HOST A DINNER. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
1) Pick a date.
2) Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to dinner.
3) Have fun, ask for donations in support of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago...and TALK ABOUT EPILEPSY!
We’ll provide you with everything you need, including a short DVD you can show at your party. Check out our Dinner Host Tool Kit for an invitation template, sample wording for your own invitation, and more! New materials are being added regularly, so check back often.
You can also register your party at our Talk About It! @ Dinner Web page, where you can send out e-mails, collect RSVPs, and solicit donations from friends who may not be able to attend your party in person.
If you're ready to get started (or if you have any questions), please e-mail Morgan Murphy or call 312-939-8622, ext. 205.
