Each year, we look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with the CURE family to celebrate research progress and recommit to funding the next wave of promising science. And while we can't stand together in person this year, we will still Unite to CURE Epilepsy.

Now more than ever, it is critical that we continue to fund the groundbreaking research that will one day lead us to a cure for epilepsy, and it's up to us to be part of the progress. CURE is incredibly important to all of us NY Friends of CURE, which is why we've set a goal to raise $150,000 this year from the NY area. We hope you'll consider making a gift through our page.

Then, join me us tuning into the online program on Thursday, September 24. This live streamed event, featuring world-class entertainment from country music star Eric Church and live host Mike Barnicle of MSNBC's Morning Joe, is designed to transcend geography, bringing us, the dedicated supporters, together to team up and raise critically needed funds to help CURE achieve our mission of finding a cure for epilepsy.

Thank you so much for your support.

Note: We've been fortunate to receive several generous off-line donations toward our fundraising goal, so our total is currently about $10,000 higher than reflected here. Thank you to everyone for your support!
