Global Landmark Lighting Campaign

As we begin planning for 2026, here’s a quick recap of our global landmark lighting partnership campaign. On October 9, 2025, World PANS PANDAS Awareness Day, more than 226 landmarks lit up green through a collaboration of 14 advocacy organizations, with ASPIRE helping to coordinate over 30 locations worldwide. This campaign brings together organizations and individuals to raise awareness, support those affected, and drive meaningful change. Instructions to get involved are available, and we’re working to light up even more locations this year. #GlobalPartnership #LightUp4PANS
