Purple Up Day

Celebrate the Month of the Military Child by wearing your purple! The color purple was chosen and symbolizes all branches of the military, it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps scarlet, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue.

The goal of “PurpleUP! For Military Kids” is for military youth to SEE the support of their schools, after school programs, youth groups, Child Development Centers, Family Child Care Homes and the entire community. This year “PurpleUP! For Military Kids” will officially be celebrated on 15 April 2026
