LIGHT IT UP PURPLE

With 15 million babies born early all around the world each year, prematurity is a critical issue! Every day in WA we experience 12 or more admissions to Neonatal Units. Partnering with organisations all over the world we aim to light as many buildings and landmarks purple as possible to help shine a light on this critical issue. We invite you to light a candle or shine your own purple light to join the global wave at 7pm on November 17. Since 2013 we have been coordinating lighting in Western Australia and the community support we have received has grown and grown.  

As venues and landmarks lock in to light it up purple they will be added to the list below:

• Perth Children’s Hospital ‘Fizz’

• The Kids’ Bridge, PCH

• Matagarup Bridge

• The Sky Ribbon

• Mount Street Bridge

• Graham Farmer Freeway Tunnel entrance

• Joondalup Drive Bridge

• Fremantle Prison Gatehouse

• Optus Stadium

• Elizabeth Quay

• Yagan Square and Water Fountain

• Eastern Goldfields Community Centre, Kalgoorlie

• William Grundt Memorial Library, Kalgoorlie

• Rockingham Beach Foreshore

• East Perth Power Station

• Perth Train Station

We would love you to get out and about to enjoy the purple lighting.  Huge thanks to everyone on the list above.  Please let them know what it means to you to see them light it up purple!
