EDISON, NJ--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2014) - April kicks off more than just the first full month of spring. On April 2nd, Autism Awareness Month began with World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), which aims to bring awareness to the health crisis happening around the globe. The day also marked the start of Autism Speaks' annual campaign, Light It Up Blue, and this hotel near Kenilworth, NJ is a proud participant in helping to raise awareness.
In honor of WAAD, Light It Up Blue engages the global community to light up iconic landmarks, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges, retail stores, homes and hotels, including this Rahway, NJ hotel, in blue.
While the campaign is just a day, this Iselin hotel is participating for the entire month of April by:
- Covering exterior lighting in blue
- Putting a blue spotlight on this hotel near Metropark, NJ
- Offering a signature Blue Light Libation in the OLIO Lounge, with $1 from each drink sold going to Autism Awareness
- Showing solidarity with reception Navigators wearing blue wrist bands
- Informing guests that they can donate $10 by texting AUTISM to 25383
One of only three health issues to be recognized by the United Nations, autism is a global crisis, and WAAD and its activities aim to not only increase awareness but provide information about the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. The day also celebrates those with autism through community events. To learn more about Light It Up Blue and the global fight against autism, visit http://liub.autismspeaks.org/welcome.
