PurpleLight is an event to recognize those that have died from pancreatic cancer and honor those who have fought and are still fighting. Luminaire bags, garden rocks with names positive thoughts, breaking a glow stick are some ways loved ones are acknowledged. This year is a little different in that it will be a virtual event.
