Illuminate the Night: Shine a Light on Sarcoidosis

“We are so grateful for the businesses, legislators, and property managers who are providing their platforms to increase public awareness of sarcoidosis. While there is progress in research, sarcoidosis remains a disease with no known cause, limited treatment options, and no cure. This support for sarcoidosis is invaluable to the patients and their loved ones.”

Ginger Spitzer, Executive Director
Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research

Over 87 buildings, landmarks, and businesses across the US and Canada will be lit purple on Saturday, April 13th and surrounding days to raise awareness about sarcoidosis, a rare disease with no known cause or cure that affects an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide.

The initiative’s first lighting partners, the Durst Organization and One World Trade Center in New York City, inspired an international movement in which volunteers, including patients, invited lighting partners to also shine a light on sarcoidosis. In this inaugural year of the Illuminate the Night initiative, One World Trade Center and the skylines of at least 33 US states and 2 countries will be lit purple throughout April alongside many other activities within Sarcoidosis Awareness Month.

Thank you to our inaugural lighting partners:
