5th Annual Purple Light Project 5K

Event Overview

The Purple Light Project (PLP) was created in 2020 to bring support to our behavioral health patients. PLP represents our commitment to serving our patients 24/7: someone is always here if you or someone you know needs help. Since its inception, the need has grown and PLP strives to bring support to the entire behavioral health system.

• Patient Benefits: Our patients benefit from food vouchers, safe transportation to a support system’s residence, warm winter clothing, dignity and hygiene items, or human experience items while they are in treatment with us.
• Fundraising: 100% of the funds raised through the 5k goes to patients.
