One in ten people will experience a seizure in their lifetime and another one in twenty-six will be diagnosed with epilepsy.

The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego (EFSDC) leads the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures and save lives.  EFSDC provides all programs and services free of charge, including counseling, career development, advocacy information and referrals, as well as support groups for individuals, caregivers and families, and summer camps for children and teens.

To support our mission and kick-off the holiday season, we are hosting the 29th Annual Gingerbread City Gala on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at the San Diego Natural History Museum. This festive event features our nationally recognized gingerbread competition, live and silent auctions and interactive museum exhibits, in addition to a dinner program.

This highly anticipated event brings together the area's most influential community advocates, leaders, medical experts and philanthropists to generate critical funding to support our mission.  Our gingerbread competition brings media coverage throughout the region.
