Tackle Epilepsy: Supporting Emily Adams
Perkins High School will host “Tackle Epilepsy” on Friday, September 4, during the Pirates football game to support 2024 graduate Emily Adams. Living with refractory epilepsy since age 15, Emily is currently on the waiting list for a seizure alert service dog through Little Angels Service Dogs to aid her safety and independence.
The fundraising goal is $42,500. Fans are encouraged to wear purple, enter the 50/50 and basket raffles, and help tackle epilepsy together.

@_JoeyZiegler Such a privilege watching you grow up on and off the field Joey! You are an incredible young man and we can’t wait to see what’s next for you bud ❤️
was so thankful to watch Mason’s Academy Experience presentation today at PHS. What a great opportunity for our students to shadow employees and experts to get a first-hand look at a career they are considering! Great job Mason, dad & I are so proud of you ❤️🏴☠️
Seizures can happen anytime, anywhere—including in the classroom. That’s why we’ve created the Epilepsy & Seizure Safe Classrooms program to help educators, school nurses, and administrators feel prepared and confident in supporting students with epilepsy. https://t.co/6G92xN9LnW
