2025 Sugar Shack for Epilepsy: $59,793 raised for research
On March 15, the iconic Cabane du coureur played host to the CHUM Foundation’s 9th annual Sugar Shack for Epilepsy benefit. Nearly 180 guests came together for an evening of good deeds, good eats and good times in support of the CHUM Epilepsy Group’s work in epilepsy care and research.
A benefit for the CHUM’s hundreds of patients with epilepsy
The Sugar Shack for Epilepsy is a key fundraising event for pilot projects in epilepsy research, including:
- Seizure prediction and detection using smart devices
- AI-aided automated electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis
Sugar Shack donors’ incredible fundraising efforts will also go to research grants for medical students and give patients access to new investigation techniques like:
- Magnetoencephalography and tractography
- Simultaneous EEG-fMR
- Laser interstitial thermal ablation, an innovative technology in epilepsy treatment
An annual tradition of giving back
“Year after year, all of us in the CHUM Epilepsy Group are blown away by the commitment of the Sugar Shack donors and partners,” says Dr. Nguyen, speaking on behalf of the entire CHUM Epilepsy Group team. “Everyone who shows up is always so excited to get together for this fun, family-friendly event and be part of advancing epilepsy research and treatment. Their generosity is why we can provide our patients the very best care—and that’s really something special!”
The CHUM Foundation would like to thank the CHUM Epilepsy Group, as well as all those who contributed in some way to the success of the Sugar Shack for Epilepsy. Thank you for empowering the CHUM’s teams to act faster than neurological disease!
