Epilepsy Foundation Texas Community Outreach VISTA-Lubbock
 
 
 
The Epilepsy Foundation Texas leads the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures and save lives. Established in 1983, the Epilepsy Foundation Texas-Houston/Dallas-Fort Worth/West Texas provides a number of programs and services, including: public and professional education and awareness programs, camp and recreation programs for people with epilepsy and their families and specialized medical care throughout the state. As the largest non-government support of epilepsy research, the Epilepsy Foundation is leading the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy. We fund research that is focused on a cure for epilepsy and aimed at eliminating seizures, side-effects and other consequences of epilepsy. The Community Outreach VISTA will build capacity for the Epilepsy Foundation Texas by increasing support for the services provided to individuals with epilepsy. The VISTA will raise awareness and financial support for five major fundraising events by redesigning processes, recruiting volunteers, creating marketing materials, soliciting sponsorships and in-kind donations and writing grants. The VISTA will extend the Epilepsy Foundation Texas’ reach into the outlying communities of the Panhandle, Permian Basin, and El Paso.
