Bridge Park and Dublin-area businesses are invited to participate in Paint Dublin Purple Night on Friday, Sept. 25, in support of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s Columbus.
That evening, the Dublin Link pedestrian bridge will be illuminated in purple to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

-
Donating a percentage of sales or a set amount from a featured item

Displaying a QR code through which customers can donate or register for the Walk
-

The Alzheimer’s Association can provide participating businesses with QR codes, promotional materials and social media graphics to support their efforts.
The Walk to End Alzheimer’s Columbus will take place Sunday, Oct. 11. Approximately 4,000 participants and nearly 400 teams are expected to come together for the event.
