Project Purple Butterfly Inc.
Project Purple Butterfly is a 501c3 non profit organization founded in 2019 by Tia Teamer who was diagnosed at the age of 13. Inspired by a mentorship relationship with a young girl with epilepsy who struggled with self-esteem and her own challenges, Tia began Project Purple Butterfly to promote seizure first-aid, break the stigma associated with seizures, and support those with epilepsy and their caregivers. Project Purple Butterfly prioritizes community engagement and equity for underserved communities. Project Purple Butterfly develops initiatives and hosts events for groups like college student organizations, youth programs, and community groups.
Community engagement is at the heart of our efforts—because building informed, compassionate communities leads to stronger support networks, better health outcomes, and lasting change. Project Purple Butterfly hosts events to ensure people with epilepsy feels seen, supported, and celebrated while also raising awarness and education.
