(KAIR)--Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge is going blue and green.
That will happen Friday night, with the structure to be lit in those colors for a nationwide cause.
According to a social media post from the City of Atchison, the bridge will join landmark structures across the country displaying the color scheme for the “Shine a Light on NF” campaign.
The grassroots initiative is intended to raise community awareness of Neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder of the nervous system.
According to the post, the “Shine a Light” campaign is one part of the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s NF awareness month, underway through the end of May.
According to the foundation’s website, Friday also marks World NF Awareness Day, held each year on May 17.
