Do you know what September 21st is? Well besides being my birthday, it is World Alzheimer’s Day. World Alzheimer’s Day is a day when people come together and help spread Alzheimer’s awareness to others. One way people do it is by throwing a Purple Party. People come together, sometimes paying a fee to get in, that goes to the Alzeimer’s association, and they learn about how it affects other people’s lives, and how it might one day affect their own.
People who throw the parties often register on actionalz, this way they can have their own free webspace for their party, to register guests, discuss the party, help people decide what to bring, whatever the reason. Having a Purple Party on September 21st would be a great way for you to help spread Alzheimer’s awareness.
Any money donated in the month of September will be matched dollar for dollar by The Harrah’s Foundation. That means if people raise $30,000 then the Harrah’s Foundation will put in their own $30,000 all for Alzheimer’s research. Families shouldn’t have to deal with this disease any longer, havign someone you’ve known for years looking at you and not knowing who you are is a horrible feeling. Would you want it to happen to you?
