WHERE WILL MY DONATION GO?

The purpose of this event is to raise essential funds to finance pilot research projects in epilepsy, particularly projects incorporating artificial intelligence and new technologies. The funds raised through the generous contributions of event donors will also be used to offer research grants to students and give patients access to new investigative techniques such as magnetoencephalography, tractography, functional magnetic resonance imaging coupled with EEG, and interstitial laser thermal ablation for epilepsy.

“For the past 10 years, the Sugar Shack for Epilepsy has rallied an incredibly devoted community together around a single mission: making life better for people with epilepsy. Every year, I’m reminded of just how generous our donors and partners are with their essential contributions. It warms my heart to see so many people come together to celebrate and champion advances in research and treatment, so that we can give our patients the best possible care. Your support is a true game-changer.”

— Dang Khoa Nguyen, head of the CHUM’s neurology unit
