SUNY Oswego’s main entrance signs will glow with purple light today, Nov. 17, in recognition of World Pancreatic Cancer Day and as a way for many to remember loved ones lost to pancreatic cancer, support those living with and beyond the disease, as well as raise vital awareness during November’s Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
Purple is the color associated with pancreatic cancer across the globe. Around the world, during November’s Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, landmarks and homes light up purple to put a spotlight on a disease that organizers say deserves more recognition.
Supporters are encouraging all to visit the landmarks lit up purple in their local areas and to take photos in front of them, then to consider sharing the images on your own social media and help raise awareness of pancreatic cancer today and through the month of November.
