The Mighty Mike Bounce Out the Stigma Project and its fundraising efforts is an extension of the goals and purpose of our program.  While we empower and educate, we also want to create new opportunities so that everyones life can be enriched.  A percentage of revenue generated from our summer camp and other programs, such as Mighty Mike school assemblies, combined with individual and group donations will grow to benefit a fund our different programs for children.  These opportunities will include Mighty Mike Camp scholarships, education and epilepsy awareness programs in schools, creating special events that we are in the process of forming, and funding other community based programs all geared toward creating opportunities for empowering youth.  The purpose of giving back is to give all children opportunities they never thought imaginable. 

Bounce Out the Stigma is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.

Also if you are a company or individual interested in donating solely to Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey's Bounce Out the Stigma Fund, please contact Pat Connelly at the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey or Mike Simmel.  This effort is also a tax deductible donation and is used solely for our program funds, mainly providing camp scholarships for children.  We are very proud to say that no one has ever been turned away due to inability to pay from our summer camp, and last year over 25% percent of our campers received a full scholarship, all resulting our generous and heartfelt donations.
