SYRACUSE — Shopko, a leading retailer providing a convenient one-stop-shopping experience to rural communities across the country, announced their fundraising results from their participation in Epilepsy Foundation’s “Lemonade for Livy” campaign. A $77,000 donation was presented to Jon Scheinman, Senior Director of Community Development of the Epilepsy Foundation and Hailey Scheinman, Co-Founder of the “Lemonade for Livy” campaign. The campaign focused on encouraging the need for continued support of epilepsy programs and research funding.

 “We are committed to supporting families in the hometowns we are privileged to serve, including those living with epilepsy,” said Peter McMahon, Shopko CEO. “We are thankful for the community’s overwhelming support of ‘Lemonade for Livy’ campaign.”

In 2011, Lemonade for Livy started as a small initiative to help Olivia “Livy” Scheinman, and now it has become the official campaign for the Epilepsy Foundation. Shortly after birth, Livy had her first seizure. She was then diagnosed with a brain malformation resulting in multifocal partial epilepsy. Today at age 11, Livy, with the help of her twin sister Hailey, mom, and dad, dedicates every day to finding a cure for epilepsy. Meet Hailey and Livy.
