Purple Pump Up for Alzheimer’s
Fueling the fight to #ENDALZ for TEN years!
Purple Pump Up for Alzheimer’s is the largest cause marketing campaign for the Alzheimer’s Association in New England, generating over $760,000 for Alzheimer’s care, support and research during its eight-year history. In 2019, the campaign raised over $147,000!
What is the Purple Pump Up for Alzheimer’s cause marketing Campaign?
Beginning June 1, sixteen Rapid Refill locations throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island and Garrett’s Family Market in Milford, Massachusetts will hold a seven-week campaign to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter. During the campaign, customers have the option to give donations to the Alzheimer’s Association at all stores both inside and at the gas pumps. Customer donations will be matched by the company.
In recognition of the Alzheimer’s Association’s The Longest Day fundraising and awareness effort, all participating locations will donate five cents from every gallon of gas and diesel sold!

Pain has an impact on behavior, function and quality of life for people living with dementia, but is one of the most mismanaged conditions. The challenges of understanding and treating acute and chronic pain for those with dementia are complex and often overlooked. Identifying and treating pain requires the ability to listen to what individuals are communicating through behaviors and body language. To treat pain for someone with dementia we must look beyond the words. This keynote offers the opportunity to explore strategies for identifying and managing pain including the use of standardized tools for assessment and monitoring along with the use of medications for individualizing comfort measures.
