About Pittsburgh Epilepsy Awareness Walk 2022
Join us on Saturday, June 25, 2022 in person or virtually as we celebrate the 34th annual Family Fun Run/Walk for Epilepsy at PNC Park.
For participants joining us at PNC Park registration and breakfast begin at 8:00 am and the 5k run/2 mi walk will begin for all participants at 9:30 am. We will have a brief presentation on Facebook for our Virtual Participants.
In person participants: FREE Parking will be available in Lot Red 6 on West General Robinson Street across from PNC Park. Once that lot is full you will continue down West General Robinson Street to the WGRS Garage. You will take a ticket to enter. Please bring that ticket to the Parking Ticket Validation Table on Federal Street to receive your Exit Ticket. We also encourage you to use the T. You will get off at the North Side Stop located at the WGRS Garage.
Mascots and local radio and television personalities will be on hand to lead the day’s festivities. It all begins with a run/walk course along the North Shore and the Three Rivers Heritage Trail along the river. Participants may then move on to a one-of-a-kind tailgate party where they can enjoy food and beverages donated by local sponsors.
All participants that raise $30.00 will receive a commemorative Epilepsy Awareness T-shirt. Additional prizes are awarded to each participant based on the amount of funds that they raise. Grand prizes are awarded the top 3 highest fundraising Individuals and Teams.
All of the proceeds from this event will stay in western and central Pennsylvania to benefit our programs and supportive services. The EAWCP offers a summer camp program, virtual support groups, workshops, and education events. We also provide a free CareShare respite program, emergency medication assistance, high school scholarships, the Oscar Project (providing service dogs) and help obtaining sleep/movement monitors. These programs are all aimed at supporting people living with seizures.
