195 Landmarks #LightUp4PANS Globally

Global Landmark Lighting Campaign

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our global landmark lighting partnership campaign. 🌍

On October 9, World PANS PANDAS Awareness Day, 14 advocacy organizations, including ASPIRE, will light up 195 landmarks in red or green. ASPIRE will continue to use the color green.

This collaboration unites organizations and individuals from around the world to raise awareness by shining a light on PANS & PANDAS, supporting those affected, and driving impactful change.

Together, we are stronger and more capable of making a difference. ❤️ Stay tuned for landmark approval updates on the 9th of every month.

    Volunteers Needed

    We need volunteers to reach out to their municipalities to request that they light up monuments, like the state house, bridges, monuments, etc., be lit up on October 9th, 2024.

    Some states and towns have forms on their websites for submitting a request, while others require you to send a letter. We have a form letter ready for you to use. These letters will be available on this page soon. Please email us at our info desk if you are willing to help. We promise it will be a manageable amount of work. We would love as many people involved as possible.
