Purple Pumpkin Project for Epilepsy Awareness

 

 The Purple Pumpkin Project began in 2012 by an epilepsy dad who wanted to raise awareness and encourage a conversation about epilepsy.

Have you ever thought to paint a pumpkin purple?

It's a fun and easy way to bring awareness to a disease that impacts 1 in 26 people in the United States.

Here are some ways to get involved:

• Grab some paints and cover your pumpkin in your favorite color purple!
• Have your family join in by painting their hands and stamping the pumpkin in purple handprints.
• Get a white pumpkin and use purple nail polish for a unique effect.
• Use our coloring page and purple crayons.

However you decorate, sharing your pumpkin on your front stoop or on social media is a great way to start a conversation about epilepsy and how it impacts your family.

If you post on social media, tag us @CDKL5inColor so we can share too!

Until next time 💚
