Waukesha, WI; Plymouth, MN, Palatine, IL, Moline, IL; Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) November 11, 2013 -- On Friday, November 15th at the Pfister Hotel, the Epilepsy Foundation Southeast Wisconsin will hold its 20th annual Toast of the Town auction and dinner. The foundation will honor the efforts of both an individual and an organization who have made unique contributions to the community. Attendees will toast Anthony Baldwin and Susan Fronk, President of MRA -- two people who prefer to stay out of the light and work on unspeakable challenges.

“I am accepting this award on behalf of our incredible MRA team who works 24/7 for our members. They not only have incredible knowledge and passion, but their sensitivity and humility are part of their DNA.”

The National Epilepsy Foundation claims that more people live with epilepsy than with autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy combined. For every 100 people in a room, there will be at least two with epilepsy and even more who are indirectly affected by their family member or friend. In 2013, epilepsy still remains in the closet of unspeakable stigma; a closet sheltering teens who prefer to stay isolated at home, children called “witches” by classmates, well-heeled adults terrified of unemployment, and veterans returning with head injuries and who thought they had already met the enemy.

The Lila Marcus Award honors people who have overcome the challenges of epilepsy and raised awareness of the chronic neurological disorder. Receiving the award this year will be Anthony Baldwin, a 19-year old disarmingly charming young man involved in the art therapy program at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Anthony says “I deal with epilepsy by being open with people.” He admits to seeing the best and worst in people, but his plans are to stay positive and only give the world his best.

The second award will be given to Susan Fronk, President and CEO of MRA – The Management Association, one of the largest employer associations in the nation. This is the first time the annual award will be given to a not-for-profit organization. Susan leads a team of over 200 HR and business professionals who quietly but passionately support more than 4,400 employers and over 800,000 employees in the United States. She has an even wider impact, serving as the board chair for the National Employers Association of America, which consists of 32 associations all dedicated to serving businesses with successful, trusted human resource, and business solutions.

Susan has spent her career working with a team dealing with some of the most sensitive issues in the workplace, including affirmative action, Family Medical Leave, and Americans with Disabilities policies. In addition to these services, MRA advocates for strong, safe workplaces and quality workforces by offering talent development, compensation strategies, benefit policies, executive counseling, workplace safety and employee training. “I am accepting this award on behalf of our incredible MRA team who works 24/7 for our members. They not only have incredible knowledge and passion, but their sensitivity and humility are part of their DNA.”
