Today is World Diabetes Day
Boston’s world-renowned Prudential Tower will join 200 monuments across the world and will light its top floors in blue in honor of World Diabetes Day tonight (Wednesday, November 14). The lighting is part of a global effort to raise awareness of diabetes and its impact on the 246 million people worldwide with the disease.
Boston’s Mayor Menino officially declared November 14 as World Diabetes Day in the city of Boston and has issued a proclamation to commemorate the day and the month of November as American Diabetes Month. Governor Deval Patrick has also declared November 14 as World Diabetes Day throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The lighting ceremony will take place at the Prudential Center beginning at 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 14 in the Belvedere Arcades glass pavilion.
