The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago’s 12th annual golf outing will be August 28th

The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago (TEFGC) is conducting its 12th Annual Golf Outing on August 28th and will be held right here in Wheaton, Illinois at Arrowhead Golf Club. The Outing is TEFGC’s method of raising much needed funds in order to host Camp Blackhawk.

You can become a sponsor for the highly acclaimed event which helps Camp Blackhawk, an annual Camp for children with epilepsy. Each summer TEFGC entertains young participants at Camp Blackhawk with experiences otherwise unavailable to them.

Kids ages six to 18 are invited to attend for one week, sharing in activities, building lifelong friendships, and best of all they get to leave behind the various challenges that epilepsy tends to bring to their daily lives. Everybody at Camp Blackhawk realizes the extent of having epilepsy.

While in the company of other kids with epilepsy, these children do not have to be concerned with having a seizure. At Camp Blackhawk they are not excluded from the activities just because they are different – the activities are built for them!

When you sponsor The Epilepsy Foundation’s Golf Outing, you will greatly benefit from the visibility that this event will bring to you and/or your organization. Sponsorship levels include:
