Chapel Bathed in Blue for Autism

Colgate's Memorial Chapel's cupola is bathed in blue light tonight and tomorrow for good reason: it is one of hundreds of landmarks around the world that helping shine a light on autism.

The chapel joins a long and impressive list of landmarks being lit in blue light aspart of  Autism Speaks's Light It Up Blue campaign. Among them are:

  • the CN Tower in Toronto,
  • the Empire State Building,
  • Sydney Opera House,
  • the New York Stock Exchange,
  • Christ the Redeemer iof Corcovado in Rio de Janerio,
  • the Mercedes Benz Arena in China,
  • Radio City Music Hall,
  • the Willis Tower in Chicago
  • and even Niagara Falls in Canada.

This is the latest of many efforts by Colgate to raise awareness of and funds for autism. The women's hockey team raised $18,000 for autism research this season and was honored recentgly in New York City.
