MANCHESTER, NH – The City Hall Plaza Tower and Hotel Concord will be lit up with teal on November 3rd during The Light the World in Teal campaign to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s during its Awareness Month.

People and places around the world “go teal” to raise awareness and show support for the millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s. How can you be part of this?

1. Join one of the Building Teals close to you:

The lights circling the top of the Hotel Concord, at 11 South Main St., will be teal as part of its tradition of lighting up its crown not only when there is a weather alert, but also for community causes, special occasions, and other events. The hotel most recently was lit in purple from October 3rd-5th to bring awareness to Domestic Violence Awareness Month; in pink from October 14th-16th to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
