Do you want to hold a bake sale to help fight breast cancer? Or maybe host a golf outing to help find ways to treat leukemia?
Purple Community events are more than just fundraisers. They are a way to share stories, lean on each other for support, celebrate hope, and to actively help fight a disease that can often leave people feeling helpless.
An Event Built Around Your Interests
Purple Community events are about you and your passion to help fight disease. It’s about making it personal – an event built around your interests, perhaps even held in honor of a loved one. The possibilities are endless: dinners, walkathons, motorcycle rallies, car washes, sporting events…the list goes on.
Proceeds Help Fight Disease
All proceeds go to cancer research at Van Andel Institute (VAI). Or, if another disease the Institute studies is more personal to you, such as Parkinson's, VAI can work with you to customize your event.
