Each year, people all around the world show their support for those living with autism by displaying blue lights on their homes and businesses. Become part of the movement and Light It Up Blue this April!
For over 50 years, the Autism Society has worked to support all individuals living with autism, as well as ensuring that the rest of us accept and include those with autism so we can all appreciate the unique qualities possessed by us all. April is National Autism Awareness Month, and the event represents a great opportunity to promote autism awareness and draw attention to the thousands of families who face autism diagnoses each year.
One of the most visible ways people around the country (and the world!) are drawing awareness to autism is by “lighting it up blue” to represent the official color of the autism awareness movement. Iconic landmarks around the world, including the Empire State Building in New York City, Willis Tower in Chicago, the CN Tower in Toronto, and even the Great Pyramids of Giza, as well as countless bridges, airports, museums, hospitals, stores and more have lit up in blue to draw attention to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
This movement isn’t limited to large buildings, however—we encourage you to show your support for those living with autism and their families by lighting it up blue this year! Whether you shine a blue light at home or at work, for only a short time or throughout the year, your gesture will help bring awareness to autism and support for those affected by the disorder.
We have several options to help you light it up blue this year, including a Westinghouse incandescent bulb, an incandescent option from Damar, and LED A19 option, and an LED flood option.
LightBulbs.com is offering several blue light bulbs for National Autism Awareness Month at prices that make it easy to light it up blue. So go ahead and start making a difference today!
