The Munroe-Meyer Institute and Autism Action Partnership will once again hold a cross-state event on April 2, World Autism Awareness Day, to increase understanding and awareness.
Shortly after 7 p.m., the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge, which spans the Missouri River between Nebraska and Iowa, will light up blue to mark World Autism Awareness Day, which also is the kickoff of World Autism Month.
The bridge will join a number of regional, national and international landmarks, which will be lit blue on April 2 to mark the day and raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder.
Participants are invited to wear blue and gather on either the Nebraska or Iowa side of the bridge.
Each group will meet at the center of the bridge at 7:19 p.m. for the official lighting.
