We Celebrated Purple Day on March 26
This year Purple Day was a huge success, once again! We celebrated in many different ways, including:
- We gave out purple cookies and Purple Day buttons at Bankers Hall
- Schools in Calgary and area hosted events, including St. Mary’s in Okotoks, where the Epilepsy Association of Calgary provided guest judges for their Purple Day contest
- CIBC staff at Banker’s Hall wore purple, as did the staff of Brookfield Properties
- We gave out tons of buttons and posters and sold lots of bracelets
- Mayors in Calgary and Red Deer declared March 26 as Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness
- Thanks to our Okotoks volunteers, Kim and Simone, who distributed buttons and bracelets in their community
- A new activity for 2009 - our purple flower campaign. We asked everyone to get someone purple flowers on March 26 to recognize Purple Day. Many flower shops in Calgary and area helped us out by putting up posters. See the full list of participating flower shops in our April Epigram. Many thanks to them all!
