Hotel management company HHM, Philadelphia, is partnering with Autism Speaks and will illuminate the facades of its 115 U.S. hotels with special blue lights during April to support Autism Awareness Month. HHM said it is the first hotel company to participate in the Light It Up Blue campaign.
The program will begin with events on April 2, Autism Awareness Day, and continue through the month.
HHM’s hotels join a list of more than 8,400 iconic structures, buildings and landmarks in 1,300 cities on all seven continents that will shine a bright light on autism. The Empire State Building in New York City, the Aspen Mountain in Colorado, Niagara Falls in Canada, the Sydney Opera House in Australia and even the International Space Station will all join Autism Speaks to support the millions of families affected by autism.
