Landmarks around Atlanta, including 191 Peachtree Tower, Truist Park, and 1180 Peachtree, will light up in teal on November 1 as part of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Light the World in Teal initiative. This event, marking the start of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, aims to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and show support for the millions affected by it.
Key sites in Atlanta participating in the event include:
• 191 Peachtree Tower
• 1180 Peachtree
• King and Queen Towers
• Georgia International Plaza
• 999 Peachtree Street

“By ‘Going Teal,’ these sites are literally highlighting the issue of Alzheimer’s and the need to continue doing more for the 6.7 million Americans currently living with it,” said Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., Alzheimer’s Foundation of America President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Light the World in Teal program, now in its eleventh year, includes more than 1,300 landmarks across all 50 states and 16 countries. For more information about participating sites and ways to support Alzheimer’s awareness, visit lighttheworldinteal.com.
