About The
Logan Jett Research Foundation
The Logan Jett Research Foundation (LJRF) was established in 2015 to help fund research efforts for epilepsy. While research remains at the heart of the organization, a huge need also exists to provide help to those trying to navigate an epilepsy diagnosis. LJRF is evolving to become a network for those living in the Carolinas who are affected by epilepsy, helping connect them to the necessary and appropriate resources and support.
The Logan Jett Research Foundation helps instill hope to those affected by epilepsy, funding research for treatment options and providing the support and connection needed in navigating the journey.
LJRF is a 501 (c) (3) organization established in 2015 with the goal of raising money to fund epilepsy research and help improve the lives of those affected.
Since then, our foundation has had incredible success in making strides forward in epilepsy research and awareness. This wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support from our friends, community, and believers of the cause.
