Light up Blue for Autism

Submitted by Jan Jay:

Wanted to let you know about a really interesting campaign about which you might want to tell your readers.  The Light It Up Blue campaign, aimed at increasing autism awareness (http://www.lightitupblue.org), is taking place this weekend – April 1 and 2.

Here is a little from the website:

“On the evenings of April 1 and 2, 2011, 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 turn their lights blue to raise awareness for autism and to commemorate World Autism Awareness Day on Saturday, April 2.

We’re aiming to light the world blue all throughout April — city by city, town by town — by taking action to raise autism awareness in our communities.”
