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.
