The tree is lit in purple to Symbolize Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness, with the supporting foundation as the Alzheimer’s Association.
The Alzheimer’s Association’s mission is to “Eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.” The Association was founded in 1980 by
a group of family caregivers and individuals who understood the importance of treating this disease.
