It has become a Dayton tradition! Come on out to the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, OH to play this gorgeous 18-hole miniature golf course that sprawls across the entire first floor of the mall. The course features replicas of famous, historic, and popular landmarks located throughout the Miami Valley and Ohio. All are designed and built by the areas finest architects and builders. Some of the holes include the Miami Valley Hospital, Malfunction Junction, Fifth Third Field, and The Horseshoe. We are currently looking for corporate sponsors and volunteers to help make this event happen. If you're interested in either opportunity, please call our office and ask for Rob. Event Dates: February 2-19, 2006
Held in conjunction with "Golf Around Miami Valley," the Stroll 4 Epilepsy is a one mile walk that takes plae inside the Mall at Fairfield Commons, and aims to raise awareness of epilepsy. Walkers collect as many donations as possible from their friends, family, co-workers, and others, and can even use online tools that make fundraising a breeze! All-in-all, it's a fun way to beat the winter blues, while raising awareness and much needed funds for epilepsy. Event Date: February 4, 2006 (Registration begins at 7:30 am and the walk begins at 8:30 am)
Devoted Treasure Hunters gather twice a year (in the spring and the fall) for this unique, adreneline-filled fundraiser held in partnership with the Huber Heights Sister Cities organization. Carloads of participants solve puzzles and clues that lead them to ten locations in the Miami Valley, and the first team to solve all their clues and find the party destination wins! Event Dates: Held semi-annually in the Spring and Fall. Spring Treasure Hunt date has yet to be determined.
Mud Volleyball is the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio's signature fundraising event. Each year, the event brings in around $45,000, and that number continues to climb with each passing year. Teams compete against a field of around 150 teams for the championship title that has been claimed by one team for the past 7 years in a row! Who will dethrone them in 2006? Maybe your team will! There are many different opportunities to get involved with next year's mud volleyball tournament. We are currently looking for Committee members, volunteers, referees, and corporate sponsors. To learn more about these opportunities, please e-mail events@ohioepilepsy.org. Event Date: July 8, 2006
The Epilepsy | Encephalitis Walk was a new event for 2005, and was very successful, not only in raising funds for the organization, but also in raising awareness of the dangerous link between epilepsy and encephalitis, and ways to minimize the risks of contracting both disorders. The event was held at Centennial Park in Englewood, OH and it brought in over $10,000 in its first year. Event Date: TBD
Every year, we honor one person or group that has made a special contribution to the Epilepsy Foundation or to the field of Epilepsy research and care by hosting our annual golf scramble in their name. This event attracts over 100 golfers to one of our area's beautiful golf courses for lunch, a traditional golf scramble, dinner, and an awards presentation. Event Date: TBD
The Annual Dinner and Awards Banquet is our chance to give back to those who have given so much to the Epilepsy Foundation over the past year, or in most cases, many years. The event includes cocktails, a silent auction, our Board of Trustees' Annual Meeting, a gourmet dinner, a special presentation of several awards, and plenty of music and dancing. Registration is underway for this event. If you would like an invitation, but did not receive one, please contact our office, and we'll send one to you right away.

No year at the Epilepsy Foundation would be complete without the Holiday Open House, which is your chance to see old friends and make new friends who all have one thing in common ... they care about and are dedicated to the Epilepsy Foundation and the work that it does. The event is completely free and almost everyone who comes agrees that it's a wonderfully fun time! Event Date: December 2, 2005 |
