‘A pre-party before the party’
Purple Party attendees visit during a prior year’s event. This year is the tenth Purple Party which gives people an opportunity to plan a team to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and to raise funds to support research to end the disease.

Many of the people who participate in the Purple Party or one of the other dementia awareness events in the area have lost someone or have a loved one who is facing Alzheimer’s Disease or a similar condition. The hope of the events is that people are more aware of the disease and that money raised to support research will eventually find better treatments and a cure.

On July 18, the Columbia Basin community will have a chance to come together to support the fight against the condition by participating in the Purple Party, a precursor to the local Walk to End Alzheimer’s set for Sept. 14.
