The Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio
(EFWO) is an independently incorporated affiliate of the
Epilepsy Foundation of America. The EFWO is a partner agency
with the United Way of the Greater Dayton Area. Since 1974,
the EFWO has worked within our 11-county service area to
provide innovative programs and services, free-of-charge, to
those facing the many challenges associated with epilepsy. More
than 48,000 people within our service area need our help.
We work every day to advocate for and empower individuals
and families who face the challenges associated with epilepsy.
We accomplish this goal by providing clients and caregivers with
the tools they need to help manage seizures, regain confidence,
adapt to life with epilepsy, and truly thrive. We stand behind our
mission, “not another moment lost to seizures,” and are
developing local research opportunities that can help improve
the lives of those who experience seizures.
Exciting and innovative efforts are currently underway to grow
our programs and services to include more resources for our
community. Through this development process, we will continue
offering individualized consultations, seizure first aid training for
schools, nurses, and first responders.
We need your support to connect with our community through
epilepsy research, advocacy, scholarship, and social support.

Lighting the Flame of Hope through Creative Expression
“I never thought I could express myself so thoroughly!” Ms. Andrea Dial, 29, of Sidney, Ohio
Studio E, the EFWO’s Art Therapy program, experienced another fantastic year of sessions. This program
is designed to help individuals and families who are living with epilepsy to touch their inner thoughts and
feelings through guided art projects. Dozens of people of all ages have joined the sessions and have found
a sense of community as well as a creative outlet.
Studio E is a partnership between the EFWO and Lundbeck, Inc., and has been hosted at We Care Arts in
Kettering, OH. This year we held a spring session in addition to our normal autumn session. Some of the
projects completed included: painting images with UV reactive paint, designing day-of-the-dead skulls for
Halloween, creating unique necklaces and other trinkets, and creating glazed pottery.
Art Therapy can help people break through emotional barriers in a way that other methods can’t. It
provides an opportunity for people to uniquely express themselves, connect with others, and build
confidence as they build new skills and relationships.
Within this program, new friendships have been made, old friendships strengthened, and the pathway to
self-discovery has been found by many individuals. One of the participants, Tony Lippolis, has thoroughly
embraced the creation of art as an expressive outlet and shared a collection of his beautiful drawings with
the other members of the program. Family members have also come out in support of a loved one and
had the opportunity to see them in a safe, relaxed, and understanding environment.
We are so grateful for the true beauty that this program has brought into each of our lives.
CaraBear in the Community
The CaraBear Project came to life in January of 2016 when we received our shipment of 2,000 CaraBears! Since then, the
CaraBear is living up to its promise to share comfort, smiles, and epilepsy awareness, one hug at a time.
In May of 2016, a new project called CaraBear in the Community was launched with the goal of sharing the story behind
the CaraBear and promoting epilepsy awareness. CaraBear has since been spotted out and about in the Dayton area, living
life to the fullest and meeting as many people as possible!
CaraBear has visited Dayton Children’s Hospital, Riverscape Counseling, the Dayton Fire Department, and several other
locations throughout the Dayton area! Over the course of 2017, it is our goal for CaraBear to visit schools, hospitals,
daycares, community centers, and important landmarks throughout our 11-county service area.
Know of any one or of a location that could use the one-of-a-kind smile that only CaraBear can bring? Grab your CaraBear,
head to that person or place, take lots of pictures, and send them our way! We will feature your pictures on our social
media websites and you can feel proud of spreading epilepsy awareness. Don’t have a CaraBear? Check out page 5 for
more information on how to get your very own!
Creating New
Opportunities
The EFWO is constantly on the lookout to
better serve you! We have many exciting
plans in the works, such as an open art
studio, interactive sensory therapies, and
new social support groups and
gatherings. But we need your help to get
these ideas off the ground.
Please consider a donation to the EFWO
today, and with it, we would love to see
what ideas you have for other programs
and services that you’d like to see!
With your donation of $250 or more, we
will also send you a CaraBear with your
choice of accessory kit!
Donation is easy!
Visit www.ohioepilepsy.org today. You
can also send in your donation by check
or money order through the mail, or
better yet, stop by our office to say hello!

A Message from Our Executive
Director
As 2016 comes to a close, it is the perfect time to reflect
upon the year that we are leaving behind us… and what a
full year it has been! We’ve been fortunate enough to
expand our programs for our clients and branch our events
out into areas previously unvisited within our 11-county
service area. This year 294 school nurses and personnel
received advanced training on epilepsy first aide as one of
our many free programs offered within our service area.
Our Mud Volleyball Fundraiser was the largest and most
successful it has ever been. And we are excited to
announce a new event series within the Flame of Hope
program: the GLO series.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio is proud to have
hosted the Studio E art therapy program for its third year.
Adding a spring Studio E session provided opportunity for
new participants to discover the many benefits of art
expression! Participant feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive so we plan to offer two sessions
again in 2017! Many clients and community members also
came to volunteer for our events this year, making what
we do possible. We are so thankful for the incredible
support that we share with our clients and we are even
more grateful to call them our friends.
With every interaction, I am deeply touched by the sense
of glowing care within our community. We are fortunate
enough to have new and returning partners who assist
with spreading our message throughout our 11 counties.
We have made new connections in several different towns,
including Dayton, Springfield, Botkins, Enon, Greenfield,
and Troy. Each of these connections strengthens our
community, helps to spread hope, and brings promise to
what we can develop in the future.
Our future is looking brighter than ever before! Exciting
plans for growth and expansion are underway.
Developments include program expansion, new therapies,
and even possible research studies. We look forward to
building our future and invite you to join us in whatever
way you can.
Finally, it must be said how eternally thankful we are to
YOU- each person who has supported us throughout the
years and those who have just joined the cause of epilepsy
awareness. We thank you for your support and humbly ask
that you continue to help us accomplish our mission by
donating in any way you can. You are the reason we are
able to keep the flame of hope alight for the many people
out there who are seeking it. Every effort and donation
makes a tremendous difference. We thank you!
May your holiday season be merry, warm, and bright. And
may your new year be full of glowing promise and
prosperity.
Graciously,
Lisa Hanson
Executive Director
A Furry Helper for Emalyne
The journey was long and difficult for all involved, but this June, Emalyne Wolfe,
affectionately known as Emma, found her way to a new lifestyle with the promise of
improved safety and enhanced companionship. Emma is like any other lively, smiley, “hug-
giving” little girl, except the difference between Emma and other children is that Emma
suffers from seizures due to Dravet Syndrome—a severe form of epilepsy. In 2014, the
EFWO partnered with Emma’s family and friends to help this sweet little girl by generating
the funds needed for a service dog.
Over the next two years, members of the community stepped up to help raise funds,
including Banfield Pet Hospital, who provided a generous donation. And then on a
beautiful summer day, the big moment finally arrived. Emma, her family, and the EFWO
team gathered in the training room in 4 Paws for Ability to meet the newest member of
the Wolfe family, Sif. The introduction was touching and beautiful. Emma, who had waited
so long for this day, asked her mom several times, “All mine? This is Emma’s?” and replied
to her mom’s affirmations with her charmingly contagious laugh.
Emma, her family, and Sif spent the next week in training; there is a lot of work that both
the humans and dogs need to go through to ensure a successful life together. At the end of
the week that was full of so much hard work, the day came for Sif to go home with her
new family. A large graduation celebration was held and everyone who had worked to help
this day happen got to come along to witness this unforgettable moment.
Since graduation, Emalyne and Sif have spent their days growing closer to each other,
gradually getting to know the other better every day. The EFWO would like to thank each
and every one of you who helped Emma find the help she needs. We wish Emma and Sif
the best of luck in their journey together!

We’re All Aglow!
Igniting the Flame of Hope is paramount at the EFWO. So many people in our own communities face the challenges of
seizures and epilepsy, and often do so in silence. We want you all to know that you are not alone and there IS hope!
So in order to surround our community in the glow of that flame of hope, we have designed a series of events and
projects: the GLO Series.
Our kick-off event was our GLO 5K Walk/Run, held on April 15
th
, 2016 at Snyder Park in Springfield, Ohio. The
festivities began at sundown, and hundreds of people helped to light up the night with glow-in-the-dark accessories,
paint, powders, and clothing. Members of our community literally glowed in the darkness and provided a beautiful
feeling of togetherness and hope.
Our second event in our GLO Series was the 1
st
Annual Purple Pumpkin-Palooza and CaraBear Chase 5K, held on
October 8, 2016 at Botkins Community Park in Botkins, Ohio. This fall festival was held in memoriam of Cara Meyer
and all others who have lost their personal battle with epilepsy. A truly heart-warming environment of family fun and
a connected community was highlighted by a moving memorial service at the end of the event. Dozens of people
gathered around in a circle and released purple lanterns into the sky, adorned with messages of love, memories, and
prayers for lost loved ones.
The third GLO event promises to be a truly magical experience: our very first GLO Gala, Spring Transformations, to be
held on April 1, 2017. We will be celebrating the light that is found in the glow of the flame of hope by dancing and
dining in a magical setting within the Dayton Art Institute. We are fortunate enough to feature John Bramblitt as our
featured artist and the evening’s guest speaker. Mr. Bramblitt has epilepsy and, due to complications from his
seizures, lost his sight. In spite of his challenges, he creates incredible works of art that bring light into the lives of all
who see them. Find out more information at www.ohioepilepsy.org.
We are so excited about this new series that provides a fresh new look at the Flame of Hope and we hope to see you
GLO with us at all our future events!
Prepare to Be Dazzled
The Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio would like to
invite you to join us on April 1, 2017 for our first annual GLO
Gala: Spring Transformations. The transformation begins

couture fashion. Featuring our special guest speaker and

Teens Speak Up!
Teens Speak Up! is a program that provides an opportunity for teens with epilepsy and their parents to visit the nation's capital in Washington DC, receive
advocacy training, meet with their legislators, and tell their personal stories. Teens Speak Up! is part of the Public Policy Institute of the Epilepsy
Foundation of America.
Teens from across the country are nominated by affiliates and selected by the Foundation to participate in the program.
This past April, Morgan Tackett of Springfield, OH, was chosen to represent the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio. Morgan attended the conference
with her parents, Tracey and Mike Tackett, and brother, Mason. Together with Lisa Hanson, Executive Director of EFWO, they learned about advocacy
and met with State Representatives and Senators. Morgan was able to share her personal story of living with epilepsy and advocate for federal epilepsy
program funding, improving access to cannabis for research and creating a nationwide system to gather data on neurological conditions and disease.
We are very proud of Morgan! What a wonderful representative for Western Ohio!

MetroPark in Dayton, OH
Everyone’s favorite heroes assembled on a chilly

came out to light the Flame of Hope with a sense of
community and strength. Kohl’s Cares and Chaminade
Julienne HS were represented by fantastic volunteers.
We even had members of the Dayton Fire Department

favorite heroes.

dedicated to Cara’s memory and the releasing of
memorial lanterns. We thank the Meyers, the amazing
