NEW YORK The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is inviting sites around the world, from large skyscrapers and stadiums to small town halls, to help Light the World in Teal on November 2 to raise Alzheimer’s awareness. To date, more than 1,000 landmarks in all 50 states and 13 foreign countries have signed up to participate in the initiative, which takes place during National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Teal is AFA’s Alzheimer’s awareness color.

Fuschillo, Jr., AFA’s President and CEO, in a news release. “We invite everyone to ‘go teal’ on November 2 to show their support for the millions of people living with Alzheimer’s.”
