Did you know that a large percentage of the more than $800,000 in research funding AES awarded last year was made possible by donations from individual members? While AES commits significant resources from general operations to these critical grants and awards, we would not be able to fund at these levels without the additional contributions made each year through direct donations, funds raised through AES team participation in the annual EF Walk, and generous bequests. Your gift can also be directed in support of educational initiatives and advocacy and public outreach, all of which help to achieve our vision of eradicating epilepsy and its consequences.
As we enter the traditional seasons of giving, please keep AES in mind as you are making your decisions about donations. If you make a gift or pledge, by October 31 we will be pleased to recognize your support at the Annual Meeting.
