The purpose of SEIZE THE CURE EPILEPSY AWARENESS CONCERT & FORUM is to create awareness for Epilepsy, its effects, and the different treatments available. More importantly, we want to create support to parents who have children with Epilepsy and provide resources to assist with challenges faced in treating and managing a child with Epilepsy. Upon my research, there are many programs available to support children with Epilepsy and their parents. Many of these programs and services are not made aware to parents unless they research on their own. We plan to have a forum of guest speakers who have either personal or professional experience in dealing with Epilepsy. As a form of support and entertainment, we plan to have vocal, dance, and other performances that are family friendly and inspirational to the victims of Epilepsy. We have a Planning Committee that is donating their time to help plan and implement event details. We are fortunate to have a place that fits 1,500 people in which we hope to fill as close to the maximum as possible with a minimum of 500. The location has been generously offered to us by Peace December who is a Peace Organization that is

recognized by the United Nations; thus falls under the umbrella of Adopt-A-Friend. We are in the process of creating a web site for this event. Finally, the purpose of the event is to show support to the ongoing research needed for a cure and successful treatment of Epilepsy by donating proceeds to THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION that has confirmed to participate in supporting and providing assistance to our event. There will be raffle drawings to further entice audience participation while providing more support to proceeds needed for Epilepsy research. In addition to support from THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION and PEACE DECEMBER, we have RAINBOW AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, INC. Which is a Non-for-Profit 501c3 which has been in service for almost thirty years servicing under privileged children from the Bronx with sports programs, tutoring, mentoring programs, etc.
