the purple plunge
Purple Plunge is a thrilling charity event where participants take a plunge into the icy waters of Lake Zurich to raise funds for cancer patients and their families. It’s a fun and meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Join us and be a part of this incredible initiative.
how we help
Whether it is a little extra gas money, house cleaning, a date night, or some assistance with utilities, Purple Plunge will work with each cancer survivor to lighten their financial burdens. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer and are overwhelmed and don’t know where to turn reach out to Purple Plunge. Purple Plunge is in YOUR community and is here to help YOU.
community is stronger than cancer
Uncertainty, Pain, Helplessness, and Confusion are just a few of the feelings that devour a person who is fighting cancer. Every day brings new questions and unique challenges that shouldn’t be answered or encountered alone. Cancer treatments have made groundbreaking advancements in the past decade, but until there is a cure, each person’s fight will not seem any easier.
A positive outlook is imperative part of healing. By letting Purple Plunge be a part of your support system surrounding cancer fighters we will prove that “Community is Stronger Than Cancer.”
