People decked out in purple swarmed into a Prince Albert hotel today to raise help raise awareness about an issue close to their hearts.
March is brain awareness month; the Royal Purple Association kicked off events by bringing their membership together from around Saskatchewan.
Members of the association gathered at the Prince Albert Inn to start the month. From as far as Shaunovan, the gathering collected almost $5,000 in donations and pledged thousands more.
“The cash donations are the projects that the lodges have already put on… the cash they have on hand,” Sandi Laugheed, a member of the Royal Purple Association said.
