The team leading at the end of 15 minutes will be declared the winner. In the case of a tie, the next point scored wins the game.

3. Game times are called by the officials. Failure to present a team after five minutes will constitute a forfeit.

4. The referee’s whistle will signal time for serve. Serving before the referee’s signal will result in loss of serve. After a referee calls for serve, the ball must be served within 5 seconds. After one warning, stalling will result in a ruling for side out for the other team.

The Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee  relies on community funding sources to promote and carry out its services. Limited and unreliable  government service contracts and grants allow the Foundation to provide some services, but your gift would help provide the necessary funds for high quality programming. There is so much more that can be done.

Financial gifts and donations to the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee, a nonprofit tax exempt agency, are used on a local level to provide continuing support and education for our community about epilepsy. Your gift to the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee can be designated toward specific programs, or given to further the overall quality of services provided by the Foundation.

Your gifts can be given in a variety of forms:

• Outright gifts by check or cash

• Outright Gift using a credit card and our secure PayPal method 

 

• Outright gifts by using appreciated securities or property which can provide significant capital gains tax savings

• Bequests to your will which can be designated by a specific amount of money or a percentage of your estate

• Endowments, which provide a permanent source of funds

Endowments are investments that provide annual income for the purpose(s) established by the donor. They can have lasting effects and assure continued service to the community. Endowments can be created through gifts of cash, appreciated securities or property, or be created through a will, trust or other estate planning technique. Endowments are permanent and may be named by the donor to honor a loved one, family name, etc.

SPECIFIED DONATIONS

Programs such as bike/helmet safety, support groups, health and professional fairs, and community education can be particularly costly. As you consider making specified donations to the Foundation, remember the variety of issues that many individuals with epilepsy are dealing with - extensive medical fees, high-priced medications, transportation difficulties, limited community support and understanding.

Epilepsy can effect any individual, regardless of age, race, religion, medical history or intelligence. The Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee strives to provide quality services to ease the burden of this difficult disorder, while meeting the varied needs of this diverse community.

As you think about making charitable contributions, remember the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee. All the money, when designated to the Epilepsy Foundation of East Tennessee, is kept and used on a local level to provide services to individuals and the community in East Tennessee. The Foundation, on this level, is able to offer personalized attention and target services to meet the specific needs of our community. You will be able to see your donation at work as awareness is increased and individuals with epilepsy receive valuable education and support.

Thank You!
