GO PURPLE!
 

September 21, 2012 is Alzheimer's Action Day and we want to join forces with you as we "Go PURPLE" in support of individiuals and caregivers dealing with the daily struggles and stigma of Alzheimer's!  Help us end the silence - get your neighbors, co-workers, friends and community talking about this disease with your display of PURPLE!

The Western Carolina Chapter is challenging individuals, families, and companies to create their own PURPLE display for the week of September 16-22, 2012.

TO PARTICIPATE
1.  There are no costs, no requirements.  Only your compassion and dedication to show your support of those affected.

2.  Have fun, be creative and be bold in showing your PURPLE!

3.  Demonstrate your best display of PURPLE sometime between Sept. 16-22.  It could be one day (Alzheimer's Action Day - Sept 21), all week or all of September.

4.  If you choose, submit a photo or short video to the Western Carolina Chapter by Wednesday, Sept. 26 along with a brief description and your contact information.  You could win a fun prize and get recognition on our social media and website!  Please send submissions to mmoody@alz.org or call 704-532-7391 for details.
