Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York Receives $1,000 Grant

A $1,000 grant was recently awarded to the Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York, Inc. from the 2014-2015 WGY Christmas Wish Campaign and their major partner Curtis Lumber.

The funds will be used to provide critical medications and special equipment for children with epilepsy in emergency situations not covered by insurance. This generous donation will also be used to support the Foundation’s camp scholarship program for children with epilepsy who are unable to attend camp due to financial need.

Thanks to WGY over the years, EFNENY will continue to provide more opportunity for children with epilepsy and their families. For more than three decades, the Epilepsy Foundation of NENY has been the only organization providing programs and services to an estimated 45,000 people with epilepsy in the Capital Region, North Country and the Upper Hudson Valley. For more information, call 518.456.7501 or visit the organization’s website at www.epilepsy.com/northeastern-New-York.
