Light the Way for Those with Epilepsy

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Tennessee, we believe that advocacy and awareness are crucial to lighting the way for those impacted by epilepsy. Our logo — which resembles a flame and an angled "E" — symbolizes our commitment to casting light on this often-misunderstood condition, reducing stigma, and ensuring that individuals affected by epilepsy can fully participate in all life experiences.

As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2027, there has never been a better time to become a recurring donor and join our Torchbearers. By contributing regularly, you provide consistent support to those facing the challenges of epilepsy — empowering them on their journeys.

Your donations help fund vital programs, including our Prescription Assistance Program, which ensures enrolled individuals can access the medications they need to manage their condition effectively.
