Paint the Town Blue!

Since 2007, iconic buildings and sites all over the world have been lighted in blue - the official color of JDRF's blue circle symbol - to mark World Diabetes Day on 14 November and raise awareness of diabetes and National Diabetes Awareness Month.

JDRF and the Syracuse New Times have partnered together to Paint the Town Blue. Join businesses across Central New York as they turn "Blue" in support of National Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day.  

Submit your "Bluest" photo to the Syracuse New Times Facebook page and the photo with the most likes will win a $100 Tops Friendly Markets Gift Card good for Gas & Groceries!
