The Purple Balloon Alzheimer’s Awareness Initiative hosted by the Brevard Alzheimer’s Foundation was launched Nov. 9 at the Hilton Melbourne Beach Oceanfront. The purple-themed event featured a silent auction of rare art and rock‘n’roll and sports memorabilia, with heavy hors d’oeuvres, raffle prizes and a balloon launch to celebrate the inaugural event. Brevard Alzheimer’s Foundation officials hope the purple theme will
do for Alzheimer’s disease what pink has done for breast cancer research, treatment and awareness. “The color purple is already for Alzheimer’s, and November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month,� said Richard Rossell, spokesman for the Brevard Alzheimer’s Foundation. “So we thought up the purple balloon locally, and we hope it takes off nationally.� For more information on the nonprofit’s network of services or to make a donation, call 321-253-4430.
