Perpetuate
<per-pet-chew-ate>
maintain; continue; prolong
something unending that is usually considered bad.
The waves will perpetuate an assault on my sand castle until it is gone.
Memory trick:
Perpetuate reminds of perpetual as in perpetual motion
At work:
You must not perpetuate the pilfering of office supplies.
