Mission Statement
Julie Hutchison Voted Most Remarkable Woman of Denver 2020
When Doug and Julie lost Chelsea to SUDEP, they turned their unthinkable pain into a mission, and the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation was born. As parents fueled by grief, they began providing much needed support and education to other parents who were going through the same Epilepsy diagnosis. They have made it their mission to provide education, resources, and actual tangible ways to save children. They have also provided a community where parents and kids can connect with others going the same experiences.
This year our very own Julie Hutchison was voted as Most Remarkable Woman in Denver for her work as an advocate for families affected by Epilepsy. Where she may not think of herself this way, those in her community do. Congratulations Julie, you are our Most Remarkable Woman every day!
Fall is fun with CHF. We host a walk/run each year to raise funds and bring awareness. Funds raised through our Nationwide STOMP event provides funding for fully-trained seizure-response dogs, life-saving movement monitors for those in need and grants for Wish trips to Epilepsy Awareness Educational Expo and Day at Disneyland. These expo days provide much needed support and information for families affected by Epilepsy.
Every spring, you have the opportunity to make a real and tangible difference in the lives of those who suffer from seizures and Epilepsy. These lively events always promise to be fun-filled with tantalizing entertainment, delicious dinners, wonderful friends and unique auctions. Every year it is different and every time we are honored by our generous donors and attendees.
