Henry County Memory Fund – Big Purple Party is Coming Up
On May 4, 2024, the Henry County Memory Fund will host their 10th Annual Big Purple Party! It will be held in Hawthorn Bank’s parking lot at Old Country Club Park with registration at 9:00 am and the ceremony at 9:30 am. All contributors will be on site with information and giveaways during the ceremony to honor our friends, family and loved ones that are currently struggling with or have lost to Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
All money raised will now be distributed locally to caregivers or to those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Money is provided through an application process for living expenses, medication, medical equipment, respite stays and other uses. We also send a percentage each year for research.
We want to remember and honor those families that have chosen to leave their loved one’s funeral memorial to the fund. Each year those individuals’ will be recognized in the “Hall of Remembrance” along walk route of the Big Purple Party. We want to help remember all those that are gone but never forgotten.
We also ask that you bring a homemade sign to put along the walk that will honor and remember your loved one. These signs will pay tribute to those that have been affected by these diseases.
