Needs Survey

We’re looking to further develop our Outreach and Support Program outside of Barrie; if you’re interested in a Chat’n Chew in your area, please click here to fill out the confidential survey.

7th Annual Soft Ball Tournament

Come out and play for your child, friend, or colleague who has epilepsy. Setting up a team is easy! You just need to know 10 people (or 5 couples) to come out and play.

We’re looking for both amateur and competitive players / teams, so there’s absolutely no worry if you’ve never played before and are looking to come out and just have fun (hey, last year was our Executive Director‘s first time playing, too).

Players are invited to bring out their families to cheer them on; this is a family-friendly event that will have face-painting and more for the children.There will also be prizes, a silent auction, and a 50/50 draw; lunch will be provided for the players. For more information, please click here.
