Description
EAM and our Presenting Sponsor the WM Fares Group invite you to celebrate #PurpleDay2022 with us on March 19th at the Westin Nova Scotia.
Our host for the evening is Ana Almeid, co-host of CTV Morning Live Atlantic
The Purple Day Gala, is our signature fundraiser, providing
the core of our financial resources to improve the lives of
persons living with epilepsy, their families and their
communities. Our annual event presents an opportunity
to network with more than 300 leaders in the Corporate,
Healthcare, Volunteer and Philanthropic Communities
while enjoying a culinary feast and exciting
entertainment.
ABOUT EAM:
The Epilepsy Association of The Maritimes (EAM) has
been providing services and support for persons living
with epilepsy, their families and communities for more
than 40 years. Our services are free and include epilepsy
awareness and seizure first aid, education, resources,
support, social activities, advocacy, and scholarships and
bursaries.
Covid-19 impacted every corner of the world in 2020 and
into 2021, and EAM was no exception. Our stang was
reduced as our fundraising activities, including the
Purple Day Gala, were cancelled, and our revenues
shrank.
Despite the limitations, we continued to connect,
support and educate people with epilepsy around
the Maritimes. Like so many others, we pivoted to
oer programming virtually. We provided education
to 4,500 students and sta, 89 employers and
individuals and families. We hosted monthly support
groups meetings and provided advocacy for 372
individuals throughout the Maritime provinces.
We are delighted to re-connect in person with
compliance to NS public health COVID-19 regulations
in place, and look forward to gathering to celebrate
the strength and optimism of people living with
epilepsy and their families at the 2022 Purple Day
Gala.
ABOUT PURPLE DAY:
Cassidy Megan, a member of the Epilepsy
Association of the Maritimes, founded Purple Day in
2008 at age 8. Motivated by her struggles with
epilepsy, Cassidy’s goal is to get people talking about
epilepsy in an eort to dispel myths, reduce stigma
and let those living with epilepsy know that they are
not alone.
