Campus landmarks and select lighting will glow red today (Tuesday, Sept. 15), honoring a request from the Lymphoma Research Foundation to support World Lymphoma Awareness Day.
The foundation is a leader in raising public awareness about lymphoma, the most common type of blood cancer. After the United States Congress designated September as National Blood Cancer Awareness Month in 2010, the foundation launched a nationwide awareness campaign to educate more people about this complex group of cancers.
Buildings and iconic landmarks around the country and internationally Light it Red for Lymphoma each year to not only raise awareness of the disease but to help provide hope to all those touched by lymphoma. In addition to lighting the country red, the foundation also hosts a variety of national and local events, as well as a robust social media program.
