Pine Tree Hospice staff and volunteers provide non-medical care, support, and education, with respect and dignity, to people journeying through progressive life-limiting illnesses, caregiving, and bereavement, thereby enhancing and honoring quality of life. Hospice volunteers provide direct services such as companionship, respite care for caregivers, transportation to appointments, meal preparation, shopping, medication delivery, light housekeeping, and bereavement support. The funds we raise through Purpleville will support these services so that our efforts directly help our neighbors who are effected by Alzheimer’s and their caregivers get access to care and support that can make a tangible difference  in their day-to-day struggles.

The JAX Center for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research focuses on the origins, progression, and treatments of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Their work aims to develop a truly integrated approach to studying Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Their research labs work tirelessly to understand how environmental and genetic factors contribute to disease progression and conduct experiments that are focused on finding ways to treat the disease. The work they pursue could hold the key to finally developing treatments that can save memories and put an end to the experiences that are devastating the lives of the people in our community living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, their caregivers, and their families.
