Hold a Purple Game to Help Fight Cancer
 |
Why Purple? The color purple symbolizes cancer survivors. |
Purple games bring your school and community together to:
- Raise cancer awareness
- Celebrate cancer survivors
- Honor loved ones who have passed away
- Support research that gives hope to patients and families around the world
A Game That Reflects Your Community
You choose the sport, date, time, and location. Then make it purple! This is your chance to be creative and reflect the spirit of your school and community. |
 |
- Have participants wear purple
- Ask community businesses to sponsor the event
- Dedicate the game to someone touched by cancer
- Use purple decorations and signage
- The possibilities are endless…
If you need help, Van Andel Institute staff can assist you.
Supporting a VARI Good Cause
The money you raise will support cancer research at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI), where researchers study the cells and molecules that make up our bodies to discover weak spots in cancer cells and ways to target them to fight the disease.
The therapies that result from our research have the potential to impact patients around the world. Now that’s something to cheer about!
