Raise Awareness and Funds with the Purple Pumpkin Project. Over 3.4 million people live with epilepsy in the United States. That’s a lot of people! Our Purple Pumpkin Project raises money to assure them that they are not alone. Display your Purple Pumpkin, and post your story and photos on your fundraising page and via social media to build awareness about epilepsy and support the Epilepsy Foundation in the fight to END EPILEPSY. It’s amazing what a small can of purple paint and a fruit can do. (yes, pumpkins are fruits!)

While on a drive through Connecticut one Sunday morning with his family, founder Ron Lamontagne was brainstorming ideas on how to spread epilepsy awareness. The local pumpkin patch provided the solution. Since kids would soon be carving and decorating pumpkins, he thought why not make one purple and tell people about epilepsy when asked, “Why is your pumpkin purple?”
