The Neuron Project
Art Meets Science
To support epilepsy research at UW-Madison, businesses, families, and individuals can be part of a contemporary art installation at the Wisconsin Institutes of Medical Research (WIMR). These illuminated neurons symbolize the pathways of the brain, as well as the growing network of people working to increase awareness and raise hope. At the end of this hallway, are the labs doing cutting-edge epilepsy research funded by Lily’s Fund.
Name a Neuron Today
Families. Go in together to name a neuron to honor someone you know with epilepsy, or in memory of someone you’ve lost. Payments may be spread out over multiple years.
Businesses. Show your support for the 1 in 26 by putting your company’s name on a neuron.
100% of your donation goes to epilepsy research at UW-Madison.

Meet the artist
Piper Vollmer is the creative force behind The Neuron Project. She is a sculpture and installation artist who lives in Madison, Wisconsin. She has made this generous gift of her art in honor of her husband’s family, some of whom live with epilepsy. Thank you, Piper, for beauty and patience!
The Neuron Project was made possible with generous underwriting from The Boldt Company, along with contributions from Championship Awards, Duwe Metal Products, Inc., EGI Mechanical, Inc., H&H Industries, Inc., North American Mechanical Inc, Pieper Electric, Wall-Tech, Inc. and Zimmerman Architectural Studios.
Because of their generosity, all funds raised from neuron sponsorships will go directly to epilepsy research.
Special thanks to Nicole Cooke for beautiful photography, Tony Cooke for brochure design, and Rob Sax of Popamatic Studios for amazing video.
