The Epilepsy Foundation of Utah (EFUT) is thrilled to announce its premier annual fundraising and advocacy event, the “Under the Epilep-Sea” Gala, on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the breathtaking Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper from 6pm-7pm. This is a family-friendly event. Children are welcome to attend and will be supervised, served dinner and entertained in a separate area of the Aquarium. This year's gala will feature a special appearance by acclaimed film producer and director Miles Levin, who draws on his own experiences living with epilepsy. Levin will screen his powerful short film, "Under the Lights," and host a conversation about the film's creation and his commitment to tackling the stigma and isolation often faced by the epilepsy community. The "Under the Epilep-Sea" gala is the Foundation's largest and most crucial fundraiser, supporting vital services, education, and advocacy for the over 30,000 individuals living with epilepsy in Utah.
