March is Epilepsy Awareness Month, and on March 26, 2021, Odlum Brown team members will participate in Purple Day, an annual event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for epilepsy.
Purple Day is one of the many community initiatives our Odlum Brown team members passionately support, yet one year ago, we realized we would need to do things differently. While we were used to gathering at the office in our purple attire, we were all of a sudden dispersed to our home offices.
As with so many things over the past year, we re-imagined Purple Day, collecting and sharing selfies of our team members wearing purple in their home offices, many with their new “colleagues” – dogs and children alike. Not only did we continue our support of a great cause, we also experienced a renewed sense of positivity and connection.
Ever since Purple Day 2020, we have carried on this new tradition, participating virtually in initiatives like BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s JeanUp; Green Shirt Day for organ donation awareness; and CKNW Kids’ Fund Pink Shirt Day. These have been fantastic opportunities to engage with one another and our communities, and showcase our support on social media.
We have also continued to support our many community partners across BC and Canada as they have adapted to continue their important work virtually. Community engagement is a core value at Odlum Brown, and we are committed to highlighting partners across our locations in their efforts to enrich the communities where our clients and team members live and work.
We invite you to follow us on social media for more community content and sponsorship information – and maybe even a glimpse of your Investment Advisor wearing purple at home later this month.
