Postcards from Camp NOVA

Every camper leaves with more than they packed.

A little more confidence. A few more friends. A handful of memories that will last long after summer ends.

Thank you to the counselors, volunteers, families, and supporters who made another incredible week at Camp NOVA possible.

Five Decades of Driving Change: The ESNJ Annual Golf Classic

Our 50th Annual Golf Classic celebrated five decades of golfers, sponsors, volunteers and supporters driving change for New Jersey's epilepsy community.

Together, 180 golfers exceeded our goal and raised more than $250,000 to support programs and services that educate, advocate, connect and empower individuals living with epilepsy and the families who rely on us.

That impact extends to Camp NOVA. For more than 35 years, the Golf Classic has helped remove financial barriers, giving youth and adults living with epilepsy and intellectual or developmental disabilities the opportunity to spend a week building friendships, gaining confidence, trying new adventures and creating lifelong memories. This year's event will help 20 campers attend who otherwise might not have the opportunity.

To everyone who has been part of this tradition over the past 50 years, thank you. The impact of your support extends far beyond the course.

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.

One in 26 people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. But 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.
