Q: What is the best way to collect donations for the Epilepsy Foundation?
I so far have $600 in donations that all go to the Epilepsy Foundation, including $30 of my own money. I was wondering if there are better ways instead of emailing or talking on the phone to ask if people would be willing to donate to this Foundation?
A: organise fish fry dinners, pancake dinners and with the right crowd you would get surprised about your collections.
Q: can the epilepsy foundation help a person that has epilepsy get a job?
jobs
epilepsy
A: They can give you all sorts of advice, but I’ve never known them to help find jobs.
Q: How do you get someone to donate to the Epilepsy Foundation without having someone think you are soliciting?
I was wondering how you can ask someone politely if they would be willing to sponsor you with a donation that goes to the Epilepsy Foundation without the person thinking it is a scam or soliciting? I have one donation book full but that was from asking people in person, when I do it by email I get too many responses from people thinking I am soliciting or scamming them? Is there a way to convince people that this is a charity and not a soliciting thing. The money people donate goes towards helping people with seizures get treated and helps people get their medicines paid for that insurance does not cover.
Here are the details:
Our Mission: The Epilepsy Foundation South Central Wisconsin will ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and will prevent, control and cure epilepsy through research, education, advocacy and services.
The Purpose of the Fundraising Campaign: Funds are needed to help provide epilepsy education presentations to schools, employers, other human service providers, as well as police, fire, and EMT personnel.
Our Financial Goal is to raise: $30,000.00
The Epilepsy Foundation Bowl 1000 will be held on April 19, 2009 at Bowl A Vard Lanes.
I have sponsored myself and am participating as a Bowler in this event. All I need you to do is to sponsor me with a pledge to be paid after the event. I will be bowling 3 games and need sponsors for each game at $25.00 per game. If you could sponsor me for $25, $50, $75, or more, I would appreciate it very much, but if not, you can donate as much as you can afford.
There is more info so see I am not scamming. If you want to call the Foundation if noone believes me then do so. You can even donate online.

A: If you have a business website or an online memo at work, that would probably be the place to put it. You can also contact your local Epilepsy Foundation chapter and see if they can help you word it right. Lastly, contact your local newspaper and see if they can place your ad in the community section.
Other than that, have people from your church/synangogue, your child’s school, or family friends help you out. I’m sure they have great ideas!
Q: i have epilepsy and im gonna get a tattoo soon but need some ideas?
since i am epileptic i was thinking of gettin some kind of symbol or something that stands for epilepsy on me. but not sure of what kind of image to use. so i thought u guys might have some ideas. something creative and not just the symbol for the epilepsy foundation. maybe something like that but more abstract. anyway u have any thoughts or ideas send them my way.
A: try the base of the symbol go freehand from there leading to flower or in this case a sunrise some of the symbol should be there not as a highlight hidden but visable up close . i dont know what you think of this just a idea , more important kick the illness butt

Q: How can i get ahold of the Epilepsy Foundation of America?
I am a 48 y/o female who has had epilepsy i was 15 y/o when i got it. the manager of the house we pay rent for refuses 2 fix the airconditioner til he gets some money. It is 90-91 degrees in here and i am afraid for the others in the family (3 of which r cats. 2 r 13 week old kittens). I am not suppose 2 get 2 hot or 2 cold. i have been burning up the past couple of days. He was told about me having epilepsy but he wont do anything about it. Before i have a seizure, can i go to him and tell him either he gets someone out here 2 fix it or i will contact the EFOA and report him. what do u think, honestly?
A: Google: epilepsy foundation & the area where you live.
On that google page they also have ecommunity forum…maybe you can get additional info from someone on that.
Are you past due in rent?
Get a strong letter from your MD saying you need A/C.
I’m not sure you an report him if you are behind in rent without letter from MD. I don’t know what EFOA stands for.
Don’t mention the cats.
Can you give him a date when he can expect some money? Maybe he’d be more willing to do it if he sees you trying to make an effort.
Good luck
Q: how do i raise money for and event/foundation?
im trying to raise money for the 5k walk for the epilepsy foundation, but im comming up short. does anyone have any good ideas on how to raise money????
oh but if you would like to donate money ahhaha go to this link http://stroll2010.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=339650&lis=0&kntae339650=84AEBB3260944CCA87E6D8156ED4672E&supId=285970082
A: I sell Avon products, and I have done fundraisers through Avon for organizations, school, etc. to raise money.
What happens is a commission agreement is made, you are given books and a time frame, orders are obtained, and delivered back to the Avon rep. Cash for products. Its a great way, everyone uses personal products…
Q: How do i set up a family foundation to raise money for epileptic charities in my cousins memory? Help please!?
Hey There,
So im 17 and just looking for some advice on how to set up a family foundation to raise money for epileptic charities in the memory of my cousins who died of epilepsy. I just really don’t know where to start? thanks Jacqueline x
A: I don’t know how to start a family foundation but the Epilepsy Foundation has its own space in Causes on facebook.
Your can join a cause via facebook and dedicate your fundraising to your cousins. Your funding raised for your cousins would contribute to the Epilepsy Foundation or another charity handling donations for epilepsy advocacy and research.
I have a cause page I send out to people on facebook and I make automated monthly donations. I do not know if you have to have a facebook account.
Q: What are some agencies which provide sevices to people with special needs to residents of Chicago?
For example:
I know Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago located in 17 N state chicago,IL
Helps people with epilepsy…
What are some other agencies? Places?
A: I would call your Local United Way Office on Tuesday. They are known to support local agencies for those in need in your community.
I know Easter Seals is a well known agency that helps those with all sorts of disabilities.
Q: What is the reasonable time to wait for an aswer from an employer in USA? Do they answer or should we guess? M
I have been looking for job in USA for TWO years. Masters Degree in Public Relations and Bilingual…I’ve heard anything…from overqualified to nobody knows you…The few employers that give me some hope always make me wait for an answer for soooo long! Last year I waited around SIX months for a No from the Epilepsy Foundation in Maryland…I have been waiting for three months now for this Catholic organization in Washington…Is this normal? Should I give up?
A: A good thing to do is check with them maybe a couple of times a month. Then they don’t forget you and they know you are really interested. Just call them and tell them who you are, when you turned in your application/resume and ask if the job is still open. If it is tell them you are still very interested and if it isn’t tell them that you hope they will consider you for any future positions with their company/organization. Good luck! (-:
Q: Are there many adults who are still home due to disabilities?
I am still home and am 38. I have never been independent physically. What organizations could I call. I’ve tried Mental Health and DSS. I have counselor at Commission for the Blind and the phone number Epilepsy Foundation. I am visually impaired and epileptic. I have a learning disability, but haven’t found an agency that helps learning disabled adults to careers. I know about Goodwill and the Salvantion Army,too.
What are all the financial aid that I can acquire? I know about HUD and Medicaid. Is there anything else? I’ve been checking out First Gov.gov.
I live in South Carolina and want to move to my capital of Columbia. Is there an area where the disabled can count on a driver to take them uptown or something? I want to cover my bases.
My father won’t help me. Well, I want to be independent, but he’s using my disabilities to keep me home with his selfish self. However, he did everything to help my narcissistic sister with no disabilities. She only values money.
A: UPDATED: FEB 10th
Look for the Dept of Rehabilitative Services (DRS).
I was classified as having a speech disability so bad, that back in the days when you talked to a phone operator – they could not understand me. I could not order food in a restaurant.
I went o normal school. Then tried the local community college. A teacher there referred me to DRServices. DRServices got a speech therapist and within 2 years – I could be understood.
You might ask your father, in a nice way: What will happen to me, when you cannot take care of me?
Good luck – just keep trying. You can get help.
UPDATE OF FEB 10th
A friend of mine (Jo) and her husband (Carl) took custody of his brother when the parents ided. The brother, who had disabilities, had been living at home and the parents would not allow him to go “out” cause they did not think he could handle things. Jo & Carl worked with him to teach him things. And he did learn and could do things. Eventually he got a job (they drove him to & from work) as a busboy at a restaurant. In time, they found a government agency that helped him move into a group home with several other people with disabilities (I prefer “extra challenges”). He had been there for about 6 years now, and by everything I have heard – doing just fine. If you can find the right agency, and they have people working in your area, you may be able to change your lifestyle.
Q: can i give blood even though i have medication for epilepsy?
i am on medication to treat me epilepsy and have been seizure free for 3 years will i be able to give blood when i emailed the foundation they did not email back just asking if anyone out there knows
A: Even though your seizures are under control, you will most likely be denied the opportunity to donate blood, as there would be a fear donation would trigger a seizure. This has more to do with the foundation’s desire to protect itself from legal hassles than your medical condition.
All the best.

Hi my name is Brian i have seizures i love to travel and it sucks that i have seizures since it affects me in certain when it comes to traveling so i was wondering if there are any organizations or foundations that take people with seizures on trips or vacations to places? i am 21 years old
