April Ushers in Autism Awareness

National Autism Awareness Month received a special kick-off Saturday with prominent buildings around the world lit in bright blue shades of hope.

Among the global sites heralding World Autism Awareness Day with the Light It Up Blue Campaign are the Empire State Building, Willis Tower in Chicago, Staples Center in Los Angeles, Niagra Falls, CN Tower in Canada, Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil, and the Sydney Opera House in Australia.

The blue light of hope can also be seen in participating airports, bridges, museums, concert halls, schools/universities, restaurants, and retail stores.

Throughout April, the National Basketball Association is partnering with international organization Autism Speaks to increase awareness and raise research/treatment funding.

For an in depth report on autism, the events of April 2, and Autism Awareness Month, see the Clay News Network blog.

Have an awesome weekend, Clay Nation!

That was so nice. It's Sunday afternoon, and I was so bored, so I came on the computer and, of course, came upon your blog. Listening to Clay just made my day so much nicer. I always love coming here, and visiting for a while. Thanks again, Caro. Lois

Always a fun time in Clay land! Watching these montages reinforces what a wonderful entertainer Clay is.

How awesome to see these prominent buildings all lit up in blue in awareness of Autism. This disease is getting more and more attention which is great news!

Have a great week!

Now that the T&T is over we can look forward to Take 2's hi-def videos. This is also a delightful time to enjoy the many creations of Clay Nation's gifted artists.

Makes me think of the happy days after a Thanksgiving meal when we can feast on the delicious leftovers.

Thanks for another great blog.

Thanks Caro - love the videos, graphics and all the clack that goes with it. I was in San Francisco for the last concert of the TNT Tour. It was outstanding. I was afraid he wasn't going to be able to out do the Reno concert with Ruben. But boy was I wrong, it was outstanding! Row 3 up close and personal and I finally got my shirt tug!!!
Great Job Caro - as always!
Thanks a bunch!
I'm having Clay withdrawals already......
