Teamsters Local 25 To Go Blue April 2

The Teamsters Local 25 building will illuminate blue for the third year in a row on April 2 to support Autism Speaks’ Light It Up Blue (LIUB) campaign to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Awareness Month.

Teamsters Local 25 in Charlestown will join a list of nearly 3,000 iconic structures, buildings and landmarks in more than 600 U.S. cities and 50 countries around the world that will shine a bright light on autism as a growing public health crisis. Boston landmarks include the Massachusetts State House, Fenway Park, the Zakim Bridge, Rose Kennedy Greenway and dozens of others.

The Empire State Building in NYC, the Aspen Mountain in Colorado, Niagara Falls in Canada, Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and even the International Space Station will all join Autism Speaks and Teamsters Local 25 in support of the millions of families affected by autism. 

Teamsters Local 25 has donated $1.5-million to autism charities since adopting the cause as their signature charity. More information can be found at www.teamsterslocal25autism.com.
