Autism Beach Bash

Sunday, September 13, 2026 | 8:00 AM–3:00 PM
14th Avenue Beach, Belmar

Join us for New Jersey's largest autism-friendly beach event. Enjoy the annual surf experience with Surfers Healing, beach activities, music and more. It's also a rare chance to be among thousands of others who understand what it means to live with autism, who share your experiences and who welcome you just as you are. That's more than community. That's what belonging feels like. And that's what this day is built to deliver.

Seize the Wave Family Beach Day

While the day may have looked a little different than we originally planned, Seize the Wave has always been about bringing our community together. It was wonderful to see families connecting, having fun, and experiencing the sense of belonging that makes this event so special.

U.S. Senate Unanimously Passes the National Plan for Epilepsy Act

The legislation would direct the federal government to review existing epilepsy programs, identify gaps, and develop recommendations to better address unmet needs. The next step is building support for passage in the U.S. House of Representatives.

One in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. We Walk for the ONE.

Register today for the 13th Annual Walk for the ONE. Whether you walk for someone you love, in memory of someone you miss, or because epilepsy is part of your own story, every step helps fund programs and services that support individuals living with epilepsy and their families.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Start a fundraising team in honor of the ONE who refuses to let epilepsy define their story. Invite your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to walk alongside you and inspire others to give.
