​What began as a vision has now become a movement. For the past three years, over 200 guests have gathered at the Southern Museum of Flight for an unforgettable evening filled with purpose. Through corporate sponsorships, a thoughtfully curated silent auction, media coverage, and unwavering community support, Wings of Hope has raised over $101,000—making Charlie’s Chance the largest individual fundraising contributor to the Epilepsy Foundation in the nation. Each gala is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of epilepsy warriors like Elaina’s cousin, Charlie Mae, whose strength continues to inspire. Learn more here.
