“Gather the whole family and come together for a wonderful cause, while enjoying good food, engaging games and a little friendly competition,” said Executive Director Melanee Stovall. “This is a time where we raise awareness about seizures and epilepsy, foster an environment where champions can thrive, and honor the outstanding work and achievements of our most dedicated supporters; individuals and organizations who have made a positive impact in service to Inland Empire communities,” she added.
The Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc. is a California 501(c)3 nonprofit public benefit corporation founded to support individuals, families and caregivers of those living with epilepsy or other seizure related disorders. Helping those, they call champions, to live a sustainable life through participation of essential supportive programs and services.
According to the Epilepsy Foundation, “1 in 10 will have a seizure in their lifetime. Epilepsy affects 1 out of every 26 individuals; 3.4 million people nationwide, more than 65 million people globally, and 150,000 new cases are diagnosed in the United States each year.” Given the significant data, it is critical to know the signs and steps in the event of an epileptic episode.
The proceeds of the fundraiser will go toward the organization’s social recreation and outreach program which creates a supportive and inclusive environment where champions build friendships, develop teamwork and communication skills, boost self-confidence, alleviate stress, and enhance emotional and mental health. “To ensure the success of this event, we are asking you to join us in sharing our commitment and dedication to educate and empower those of the Inland Empire communities and beyond. Your attendance will not only support a meaningful cause but will also show solidarity in our mission to make a positive impact on the community,” said Board Vice-Chair Denise Loiacano.
The Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc. has been recognized by San Bernardino County 5th District Supervisor Joe Baca Jr., Riverside County 5th District Supervisor Jeff Hewitt, Mayor of Fontana Acquanetta Warren, Mayor of Rialto Deborah Robertson, 64th District Assemblymember Mike Gipson, 50th District Assemblymember Eloise Reyes Gomez, and 36th District Congressman Raul Ruiz; for the work they are doing to raise awareness of epilepsy and other seizure related disorders and for supporting those suffering.
