Iconic buildings in Winston-Salem to shine light on autism

ABC of NC Child Development Center in partnership with Autism Speaks, and local corporate and civic partners will “Light It Up Blue” during the month of April in commemoration of Autism Awareness Month and World Autism Awareness Day on April 2.

Throughout the month of April, many of Winston-Salem’s most iconic buildings (and iconic buildings around the globe) will — literally and figuratively — shine a light on autism by illuminating their facades in blue tones.

April 1 and April 2 Wake Forest University will participate by lighting up Wait Chapel with blue lights.
