Light up a landmark

To celebrate World Encephalitis Day 2024, we need your help to turn the world red by lighting up as many landmarks as possible around the globe.

We currently have 238 landmarks and buildings across 29 countries that have agreed to go red on Thursday, 22nd February, and help us raise awareness.

Can you help?

This is a big job – especially for a small team such as ours.

If you live in a town or city with a notable landmark that can light up in a different colour, or your place of work can support us, please approach them and ask for their support this World Encephalitis Day. Or if you can think of a landmark elsewhere in the world that you would like to see go #Red4WED then please reach out to them.

Please make sure you email us at red4wed@encephalitis.info once you receive confirmation of a landmark.
