2023 LIGHT IT UP 4 HD


For so many years, Huntington disease (HD) has been kept secret in families, due to stigma and discrimination. The #LightItUp4HD campaign is a wonderful opportunity for those with HD to raise awareness, make connections, receive support from their communities, and move forward with pride and dignity.  The more people understand the disease, the more they can extend support to individuals and families facing HD. The month of May is designated as HD Awareness Month and every year, we invite landmarks and buildings to #LightItUp4HD across Canada in May. To learn more about #LightItUp4HD, click here.

Want to illuminate your business or landmark?

Complete this form and submit to lightitup@huntingtonsociety.ca. Know a business or landmark near you that you’d like to see illuminated? Contact lightitup@huntingtonsociety.ca for resources to make the request.

Are you putting lights on your private residence?

Light up your own house, apartment, room or office in blue and purple. Those cool LED lights are perfect! Consider adding a #LightItUp4HD sign to your window letting people know the reason behind your explosion of colour. Download the sign here (PDF or PNG).
