You’re invited!
33rd annual purple gala
May 3rd, 2025 at the Depot Minneapolis
This year, we are excited to honor Carole Lee Randall for her years of hard work and unwavering commitment to the Purple Gala and the Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota.
“The Association was the first place I went for help when my dad was diagnosed with dementia 32 years ago. My dad lived with the disease for 10 years and my mom took care of him. Ever since then I have been involved with the Minnesota-North Dakota chapter as a volunteer, board member, gala chair, and donor. I have made many meaningful and lifelong friends as a result of my involvement with the Association, and we always come to the Gala as our primary way of giving back. Hearing the stories of those that the Alzheimer's Association helps is so impactful.”
-Carole Lee Randall, 2025 Purple Gala Civic Honoree
