    Edmond turns purple May 18-23

    Businesses across Edmond are coming together the week of May 18 to Turn Edmond Purple and raise awareness of programs and services available to help the 70,000 Oklahomans living with Alzheimer’s disease. In the process, they hope to raise $10,000 to support the resources of the Alzheimer’s Association, which are provided to families at no charge.
    The City of Edmond will be turning purple in mid-May for the fourth year running to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and funds to support programs and services for the community.Two Edmond men staff an Alzheimer's Association table, one in cinnamon roll costume.
