Dear Luau Goers and Donors!

Wow! Fish in the bathroom. Ten-foot palm trees. A flying shark needing a scissor-lift rescue. And more than 600 generous guests with love in their hearts. What a night. What a wonderful night!

We are excited to share the news from the event.

• Because of you, we raised about $105,000 for epilepsy research!
• Because of you, we could announce the hiring of our second Lily’s Fund Fellow, Brandon Wright.
• Because of you, we will soon announce the availability of “Grace Grants,” named in honor of Grace Penwell, who lives courageously with epilepsy every day, whose story will spark innovative epilepsy research by UW-Madison faculty, staff, and students.
