💜 Purpose: Raising Awareness & Expanding the JR Foundation Brand
The JR Game is our community-driven sports event, bringing together athletes, supporters, and families to raise funds and spread epilepsy awareness. Inspired by the Wally Pontiff Classic at LSU, this event transforms a weekday FSU baseball or basketball game into a charitable event, filling the stadium with epilepsy advocates.
🔹 Game Features:
✅ Special epilepsy awareness-themed jerseys and merchandise
✅ Fundraising through ticket sales (with proceeds benefiting the JR Foundation)
✅ Live recognition of individuals and families affected by epilepsy
✅ Halftime/7th-inning initiatives to drive donations
💡 Why It’s Important: Sports events create an opportunity to introduce epilepsy awareness to a larger audience while giving fans a meaningful way to engage with the cause.
