Saratoga Springs, February 26, 2024 - In a symbolic gesture of solidarity and support, businesses along Saratoga Springs Boardway have announced their participation in National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, running from February 26th to March 3rd. As part of this initiative, these establishments will illuminate their storefronts in the color purple, honoring the efforts of Flutters of Hope Inc. and spreading awareness about eating disorders.
The decision to light up in purple comes as a tribute to Flutters of Hope Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and advocacy for individuals and families affected by eating disorders. Purple serves as the official color of the organization, symbolizing hope, compassion, and understanding for those struggling with these challenging illnesses.
"We are thrilled to see the community rallying behind such an important cause," said Cheryl Marron, Founder of Flutters of Hope Inc. "By lighting up in purple, Saratoga Springs Boardway businesses are sending a powerful message of support and solidarity to individuals battling eating disorders."
