Show your support for the cause at work. There are plenty of things you can do in the workplace to raise awareness of Alzheimer's disease. Here are some fun and easy ideas to get you started!

Go purple!

Ask your workforce to wear purple to raise awareness.

Why not combine a Go Purple Day with Casual for a Cause or another fundraiser?

Go casual for a cause

For a small donation (usually $5), employees choose a day to dress casually - and display their commitment to the Alzheimer's Association by wearing our symbol.

affects the workplace
