Thank you for your interest in joining the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan as a 2024 Mini Stroll for Epilepsy™ Stroll Organizer! Please review the following guidelines and policies prior to submitting your event application form.

All Mini Stroll for Epilepsy™ fundraising events are not hosted by the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan, and therefore should not be promoted as such. While our team would love to attend every Mini Stroll in person, as a small nonprofit this is not feasible as of now.

All fundraising should be done through the 2024 Mini Stroll for Epilepsy™  fundraising page that will be set-up by a representative at the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan. However, if you, as the Stroll Organizer, do receive donations, please mail them to the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan.

Your application will be reviewed by our team in a timely manner, and you will be contacted regarding approval of your Mini Stroll. Please allow up to 5 business days for the review and decision process.

The Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan reserves the right to decline association with any event or organization for any reason.
