At Giving Through Jewelry, 10% of all sales are donated to a charity of the buyers choice. We realize that there are a lot of charities to choose from so we would like to highlight some of our favorites. This month’s featured charity is Epilepsy Foundation. Check out our FACEBOOK page at the beginning of each month to see how much was donated.

 

The Epilepsy Foundation advocates on behalf of people with epilepsy and their family members and caregivers to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures and save lives. Their priorities include:

• Ensuring access to quality health care that is affordable, physician-directed and patient-centered;
• Securing federal funding for epilepsy programs, research and treatments at institutions including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA);
• Safeguarding disability rights and ending discrimination through awareness; and
• Fostering biomedical innovation through incentivizing development of new therapies and the promotion of research to gain a better understanding of causes, consequences, and outcomes, and, ultimately, cures for all the epilepsies.
