March 26th is Purple Day for Epilepsy and we want your centre to be a part of it!
Join with preschools, kindergarten classes and childcare centres across the province in the PURPLE DAY Bunny Hop!
​
Purple Day was an idea that began with Cassidy, a little nine years old girl in Nova Scotia who has epilepsy. She decided that there should be one special day each year so that kids (and grown-ups) with seizures wouldn’t feel so alone. Since then, her idea has grown world-wide and on March 26th, people all over the globe will be holding special events and wearing purple to show they care.
Cassidy is making a difference, and we know that the kids of Manitoba can too. So, we’re holding the province-wide
Purple Day Bunny Hopto show just how much even little kids can do!
How it Works...
Complete the form and return it to us to register your group by March 5, 2025
and we will send you a Purple Day Bunny Hop Kit, containing Purple Day Awareness bracelets, sponsor sheets (for those fundraising), colouring sheets, a book titled “Char Bear Keeps Dancing!” by Kate Kostolansky
and all the details on holding your Bunny Hop. Make sure you register by the deadline so that we can get your kit to you in plenty of time.

Prior to Purple Day, participants can ask friends, family, and other community minded people to sponsor them in their Bunny Hop for Epilepsy.Then, either before or on Purple Day, have everyone wear purple, and set aside a little time to
Bunny Hop for Epilepsy.
One in every one hundred people will develop epilepsy, so we are suggesting that participants do one hundred hops, either all at once, or over the course of the whole day. However, feel free to modify this number to accommodate your specific group.
Fill out the information registration form.
