(MInneapolis, MN) — April 9, 2024 — In a colorful display of support and solidarity, three prominent landmarks in Minneapolis will “light it up orange” in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW), which runs from April 21st to April 27th. This initiative is part of the #WearOrange Campaign created by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, aimed at empowering patients and changing the conversation around infertility.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine has organized this illuminating event at the following locations:
– 35W Bridge: The iconic interstate bridge that connects Minneapolis and St. Paul will shine in orange, symbolizing hope and awareness for those affected by infertility.
– Lowry Bridge: Located at 1-199 N Lowry Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55412, this architectural marvel will join the campaign to light up the night sky with a warm orange glow.
– Capella Tower: Standing tall at 225 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402, this skyscraper will also participate in the initiative, spreading the message of support and awareness to the community.
National Infertility Awareness Week® was founded in 1989 by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. The movement aims to dispel myths, provide accurate information, and reduce the stigma surrounding infertility. It also seeks to advocate for policies that support individuals and families in their journey to build a family.
“We are thrilled to see Minneapolis landmarks joining the #WearOrange Campaign to support National Infertility Awareness Week®”, said Dr. Colleen Casey, President of the Center for Reproductive Medicine. “By lighting up these landmarks in orange, we hope to raise awareness and show support for the millions of people who are affected by infertility. It’s time to change the conversation and empower those on their journey to building a family.”
The public is encouraged to participate in the #WearOrange Campaign by wearing orange during NIAW and sharing their support on social media using the hashtag #WearOrange.
