Throughout November, Epilepsy Awareness Month, we’ll be asking for your feedback on epilepsy awareness programs. We are looking for you to tell us which programs will have the greatest impact. You decide which programs are most important to you.
You Decide
It’s a simple idea. Just start by answering the poll below. Decide which program can make a difference. Vote for the program that you feel can increase epilepsy awareness. Vote for a program you wish you had access to.
[socialpoll id=”2230062″]
At Living Well With Epilepsy, we have tons of ideas of how to increase epilepsy awareness. But we want to spend our time on projects that will really make a difference to you.
Make it a Reality
Then on Tuesday, December 2, 2014, Giving Tuesday, you will have the opportunity to make the program a reality. Your donation will help make the winning program possible.
You don’t have to give to vote. You don’t have to vote to give. And of course there will be thank you gifts, too.
Spread the Word
Throughout November tell everyone you can about the poll. Then on December 2, throughout Giving Tuesday you can join in a worldwide movement celebrating generosity.
