On October 5th, 2024, landmarks across North America lit up in blue and purple to mark Meningitis Awareness Day and shine a light on the importance of meningitis prevention. Iconic sites such as Niagara Falls, the CN Tower in Toronto, Dallas, and Philadelphia joined in the effort to raise awareness about this potentially life-threatening illness.
These vivid displays of color served as powerful symbols of support for ongoing education, early detection, and vaccination efforts to combat meningitis. As the landmarks glowed through the night, they reminded us all of the importance of spreading knowledge and protecting our communities from the devastating effects of this disease.
Whether through social media shares, local events, or partnerships with schools and businesses, this nationwide initiative highlighted how we can all come together to save lives. The message was clear: with awareness, action, and prevention, we can #DefeatMeningitis.
