Light Up Landmarks
We are lighting up landmarks and buildings pink and purple (the colours representing eosinophils) to raise awareness for eosinophilic diseases during National Eosinophilic Week (3-9 August 2025). Some locations are illuminating for the entire week (or part of) and some are only able to light up for our Top 8 Challenge day on Friday 8 August.
EOS is short for eosinophil (a type of white blood cell) and this week raises important awareness of eosinophil-associated diseases. The more landmarks turning pink and purple, the more people we can reach and get talking about eosinophilic diseases. Please get in touch if you can help us light up more places (including landmarks in your local area)!
We encourage you to visit these landmarks if you can on the light up night/s and take a photo (safely) and share it on social media to help shine the light on eosinophilic diseases. Please use the hashtags #EOSLightUp #EOSaware and #NEOSW2025 and tag ausEE Inc. in your posts! We will be featuring a selection of light up photos on this website. Please send your photos to us by email to admin@ausee.org.
Locations lighting up for eosinophilic disease awareness:
These landmarks, buildings and bridges are lighting up pink and purple together, or pink only where single colours are only possible. Please note these sites are subject to change (i.e. if another event is booked for the venue).
