The Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio was founded in 1974 as a not-for-profit voluntary health organization that provides education, support, and advocacy for people with seizure disorders and their families. The Foundation also promotes understanding of epilepsy through educational programs offered in the community to schools, organizations, professional audiences, first responders, businesses, government, and the general public.

By supporting the Golf Scramble for Epilepsy, you will assist the Foundation in providing vital services and programs for residents from 11 western Ohio counties, which include Auglaize, Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Shelby. With your sponsorship and participation, the Foundations can continue to offer its services to persons with epilepsy free of charge.

Dirty Video from Dayton

May 14, 2008 By davidebowman 1 Comment

When is it alright to do something dirty with your friends and co-workers?  When you enter a team in the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio Mud Volleyball Tournament on July 12, 2008.  This year the theme is “Mudstock – Peace, Love, Mud.”  Starting at 9:00am and lasting all day, it will be located at Wegerzyn Gardens Metropark 1301 E. Siebenthaler Avenue in Dayton, Ohio.   This event brings in almost 25% of the annual funding for the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio – so it is just as important as it is fun.  Get a team together, get dirty, and have some mid summer fun.  Registration is easy, and if your team registers in May it is only $275 per team.  Not convinced?  Check out these “dirty pictures” from last year’s event.  Need more proof?  Take a look at this cool video that Mike Kurtz and his team at UD put together.  Still not convinced.  Perhaps you are just not the dirty type.  You can still be a part of the fun.  Help the cause by volunteering to help with running  the event.   There are also opportunities for sponsoring the event, if your company is looking for a great way to give back to the community.  All we are saying is give mud a chance.  Seriously, there are very few events that allow you to have this much fun while doing something meaningful for others.  For more information contact the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks to all of the sponsors and volunteers who have already worked so hard to make this event successful.
