About World Neuroscience Day
World Neuroscience Day is an awareness campaign created by the Atlanta Neuroscience Foundation to inspire people living with neurological diseases like MS, Parkinson’s, Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s to highlight the need to maximize the advancement of treatment and diagnosis. To improve outcomes and quality of life for people living with neurological diseases through education and service.
Our Objective

Corporations that invest human and financial resources to help people with neurologic diseases and disorders to discover a better tomorrow become part of Atlanta Neuroscience Foundation’s family.
By contributing millions of dollars annually in cash and in-kind support, our corporate partners enable the Foundation to raise critical funds, cost effectively underwrite research, and expand programs serving patients with neurologic conditions.
Passion and impact strategic goals
- Everyone will have access to comprehensive healthcare services focused on producing the best outcomes at affordable costs.
