Janna Epp Bursary

Pacific Medical Law has established a bursary fund in honor of Janna Epp, a beautiful, determined young girl with cerebral palsy. Janna faced challenges that few of us could imagine. Sadly, on October 11, 2012, Janna passed away.

In memory of Janna, Pacific Medical Law will donate $5,000 to a child living with cerebral palsy every year. This money will assist with that child’s care, therapy or recreation. Janna’s mother will select the recipient of the award.

Applications are due June 30, 2024.

This year the bursary recipient will be selected on July 30, 2024.
