You can also go to my page that is set up at http://lightitupblue.org and donate to Autism Speaks.
Bulbs can also be purchased at most Walmart's and lanterns can be purchased on coleman.com .  A portion of the purchase price for "Light It Up Blue" will be donated to Autism Speaks.
Another way to show your support for is to wear blue on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 also.  These blue tees can be purchased through Autism Speaks for $12.00.  They are dark blue and GLOW IN THE DARK!

Each April 2, Autism Speaks celebrates Light It Up Blue along with the international autism community, in commemoration of the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day. Light It Up Blue is a unique global initiative that kicks-off Autism Awareness Month and helps raise awareness about autism. In honor of this historic day, many iconic landmarks, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges and retail stores are among the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities that take part to Light It Up Blue. Last year the Empire State Building was lit in blue lights!!
It's easy and fun to Light It Up Blue! Register your Light It Up Blue events today. Whether you're joining as an individual, or the manager of a building, store, school, cultural institution, restaurant, or media entity, you can pledge to Light It Up Blue!
