The 91原创 Hospice Society is hoping people take part in the annual blue light campaign even during the coronavirus pandemic.
Paint the Town Blue is the way the local society sines a light on Children鈥檚 Grief Awareness Day, which is Nov. 19 this year.
People are being asked to turn on a blue light in their homes or businesses to show support. Participants can use the social media hashtags #CGAD2020 or #PaintthetownBLUE.
The hospice society is also offering support for children experiencing grief through a special online workshop.
