Going Global to Save Lives
Join us for our 4th annual "Going Global to Save Lives" event at Meson Sabika in Naperville, IL! It's an evening of award-winning tapas and drinks in support of a great cause: saving the lives of people with epilepsy.
You'll learn more about the work of ROW Global Health, our partnerships with Naperville Rotary clubs, and how you can support this critical work around the world - specifically in Africa, where a lack of medication and education leads to devastating stigma and discrimination. Join us in bringing hope to people with epilepsy in low- and middle-income countries!

6:15pm - 7:00pm: Program featuring a guest speaker, partner spotlights, and video premiere

ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Rebeca Figueroa underwent epilepsy surgery at age seven to have 20% of her damaged brain removed. At age eleven, she was motivated to help other children in El Salvador living with epilepsy and founded Fundación Compasión Púrpura (Purple Compassion Foundation). She has shared her story at global epilepsy conferences, including the American Epilepsy Society (AES).
Compasión Púrpura works to help children and adolescents with epilepsy overcome barriers to treatment and live to their fullest potential through education, medical support, and access to essential diagnostic and treatment resources.
Join us to be inspired by Rebeca's remarkable story, and learn how her family's leadership of Compasión Púrpura, in partnership with ROW, is changing the lives of people in El Salvador.
