Some of Hollywood’s most prominent buildings and structures were drenched in blue Wednesday night.
It’s part of an effort to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
The Capitol Records building, the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel and the Melrose Gate and Water Tower at Paramount Studios are among the recognizable structures that were bathed in blue light as part of the Blue September campaign.
International organizations are also showing their solidarity with the campaign, including The Harbor Bridge in Sydney, Australia and the Parliament House in Melbourne, Australia.
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in males in the Western world. In the U.S. there are approximately 180,000 new diagnoses annually. Each year, 40,000 men with established disease die from prostate cancer.
The Blue September Campaign, launched by the Prostate Cancer Research Institute, aims to raise awareness about prostate cancer. The PCRI was founded in 1996, with the objective of educating patients and their families about prostate cancer.
