Sport Purple for Platelets Day

Sport Purple for Platelets Day is an annual global awareness event obserced on last Friday of September each year.

It is dedicated to raising visibility for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder that causes low platelet counts, leading to easy bruising, bleeding, and potential serious complications.

The day encourages people to “sport purple”—wearing purple clothing, accessories, or even decorating homes and pets in the color—to spark conversations, educate others, and support affected individuals and families.
