Guests will enjoy an open bar during the cocktail hour, fine dining and wine service during dinner, silent and live auctions, dancing to the music of Grand Central Station, and an array of decadent chocolate desserts donated by local restaurants and pastry chefs, the highlight of the evening!

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder defined as having two or more recurring seizures; it can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. One in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. Epilepsy is more common than Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined.
