Friday, October 27, is Dress Purple Day.
The Dress Purple Day campaign runs every October by Children’s Aid Societies across the province to raise awareness about the important role that individuals and communities play in supporting vulnerable children, youth and families.
Join us in celebrating the community that cares for families and share the message that help is available and no one is alone.
In addition, on Dress Purple Day, Children’s Aid Societies collaborate with key partners to speak up for every child and youth’s right to safety and well-being in all spaces. Not just physical safety and well-being—children and youth have the right to have their intersectional identity, which includes culture, race, sexual orientation, and gender identity, protected and supported in all spaces.
This year, York Region CAS staff raised money through the purchase of dress purple day t-shirts. Proceeds from the sales went directly to the York Region Children’s Fund.
