The PD Avengers announced that on April 11, 2024, the global alliance will partner with Abbott and AbbVie to turn World Parkinson’s Day into World Parkinson’s Night. The global campaign is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering unity among the Parkinson’s community. Three core events that are part of this global initiative include: Spark the Night with 10-million lights, a 24-hour Parkinson’s Around the World live stream and our SLEEP survey [ http://www.pdavengers.com/sleepsurvey ] of people with Parkinson’s and care partners.
Spark the Night will illuminate over 300 iconic buildings, bridges, towers, and landmarks in a vibrant blue hue, serving as a powerful symbol of hope, solidarity, and visibility for the Parkinson’s community. Scheduled for April 11, this dazzling display will include renowned structures such as The Empire State Building, an emblem of New York City’s skyline. Additionally, notable landmarks such as the New York Stock Exchange, AT&T Global Headquarters in Dallas, the Royal Australian Mint, and Canadian treasures like BC Place and Science World in Vancouver will join in this global initiative.
Internationally, participation extends to landmarks like the Adelaide Oval in Australia, the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, Italy, the historic Sophienkirche in Berlin, and the iconic Waldstadion; Deutsche Bank Park Futbol Stadium in Frankfurt. The Petřín Tower in Prague will also be illuminated in solidarity with the cause.
