"Purple Day reminds Americans that people with epilepsy deserve understanding and acceptance," says Debra Josephs, Executive Director of The Anita Kaufmann Foundation. "When the public is given information about seizure types and seizure first aid training, their fear subsides and gives way to understanding."

The Anita Kaufmann Foundation and Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia are the global partners of Purple Day.  Volunteer ambassadors and local epilepsy organizations are helping organize events in countries around the world, including the United States, Mexico, the Netherlands, Australia, Uganda and Kuwait.
