Illinois Epilepsy Advocacy Day

Join us on May 17th, 2017 when we head on down to Springfield to advocate for people impacted by epilepsy – transportation provided for FREE! The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago will be meeting with our State Representatives and Senators to address the need for programs and services to be provided to people with epilepsy, which are at risk due to the potential upcoming budget cuts. 

 Our State legislators need to know how much we need their support and how important it is for us to not lose our state funding!

At 10:30 am we will meet at the Capitol Rotunda for a group photo and at 11:00 am we will meet at the Capitol's Stratton Cafeteria for lunch. Boxed lunches will also be provided throughout the day.

We will be loading the bus at 5:45AM on Wednesday 5/17 at the EFGC office at 17 N. State St., Chicago, IL 60602, with a second pick up option at the Hinsdale Oasis at 5800 Tri-State Tollway, Hinsdale IL, 60521 at 6:30AM. RSVP required for transportation! We have 55 seats

Bring your family and friends and let your story be heard!
