Remember to LIGHT IT UP BLUE…

April is Autism Awareness Month, and April 2nd is International Autism Awareness Day. For reasons that are rather obscure to me, Autism Speaks is working with cities and organizations around the world to promote Autism Awareness by lighting up major buildings and landmarks with blue lights on the night of April 1st.

The project, called “Light It Up Blue,” will certainly be very visible indeed:

On the night of April 1, prominent buildings across North America and the world including the Empire State Building in New York City and the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada will be lit up blue to raise awareness for autism and to commemorate  World Autism Awareness Day on Friday, April 2.

And we’re aiming to light the world blue, too – city by city, town by town – by taking action to raise awareness about autism in our communities.

The S-H-E-M-A Gurls Network urges YOU to join us as WE LIGHT IT UP BLUE in support by doing this:
