Your support today helps these programs ensure no one journeys through epilepsy alone
Shining Stars
This program connects youth and teens with epilepsy from across Minnesota and encourages them to reach for the stars. All youth ages 17 and under are invited to become a Shining Star and join us with their family for special events throughout the year.
- 402 children and youth enrolled in Shining Stars
- 175 Shining Stars attended our annual Mall of America event
“All four of our kids LOVED the activity tables this year! This is the only way we are able to afford taking our whole family to ride rides at MOA, so we appreciate the option of discounted wristbands for the whole family.”
United in Epilepsy Walks
- Over $178,000 raised in 2024
- 1,608 walkers and 159 teams across 6 walk sites
“We attend as many of the EFMN social events as we can. Our children who do not have epilepsy (and our child who does) enjoy connecting with others and sharing our story! The social events make us feel “less alone” in our journey!”
Camp Programs
The Epilepsy Foundation’s Camp Programs provide safe, educational, and fun camping experiences for children and teens with epilepsy. With on-site medical staff and counselors trained in seizure first aid, campers and their parents can rest assured they will be safe and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
To make sure a camp experience is accessible for youth of all abilities, we offer Camp Oz, Day Camp, and Family Camp that are designed to accommodate youth with different needs. In 2024, we hosted a total of 110 campers across all of our Camp Programs.
Your gift has helped EFMN provide 46% of our campers with financial support to attend our 2024 summer Camp Programs.
- Camp Oz – 91 campers
- Day Camp – 13 campers
- Family Camp – 26 campers
“I liked meeting other kids who understood what I was going through. Everyone is so nice and accepting.”
