Shine a Light on LGS
As part of International LGS Awareness Day™, light a landmark, your home, or business purple or green and help Make LGS Visible. Make LGS Understood.
From homes and businesses to landmarks around the world, every light helps bring greater visibility to Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and the people and families impacted by it.
Ways to Illuminate for LGS
You don’t need a major landmark to make an impact. Illuminate wherever you are.
Light Your Home
Add purple or green lights to your porch, windows, trees, or yard. Invite neighbors, friends, and family to join you.
Light a Business
Ask a local business to light up purple or green November 1-7 and help bring awareness to your community.
Illuminate a Landmark
Reach out to a local building, bridge, monument, or recognizable landmark and ask them to illuminate for LGS.
Want to Illuminate a Landmark?
Start Early!
Many landmarks and buildings require advance notice to approve lighting requests.
1. Find a location.
Identify a local landmark or building that can change its exterior lighting.
2. Make the request.
Use our official request letter and sample email to make reaching out easy. Add your personal connection to LGS when you can.
3. Aim for November 1.
November 1 is International LGS Awareness Day™. If the location isn’t available that day, ask for another date during the November 1–7 Illuminate for LGS campaign. If those dates aren’t available, the closest available date in November is still welcome.
4. Tell us when it’s confirmed.
Send your confirmed location and illumination details to Kayleigh@LGSFoundation.org so we can include it in our awareness efforts.

Share Your Light
Help us show the world what it looks like when the LGS community comes together.
Take photos of your home, business, or landmark and share why you Illuminate for LGS.
Use #IlluminateForLGS and #LGSawareness and tag the LGS Foundation so we can celebrate and share alongside you.
