KC joins national blue-light effort to honor heroes

Last night skylines and stadiums nationwide shined brightly with blue LED lights as part of the #LightItBlue campaign to honor and support first-responders and others who are putting their lives on the line to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, Country Club Plaza and multiple other buildings throughout the metro participated in the nationwide, volunteer-driven event which kicked off last night at 7 p.m.

The campaign was developed in New York City to honor front-line, essential workers who confront the virus throughout the U.S., and will serve as a “universal moment of solidarity” during these trying times.

The hashtags assigned to the event are #LightItBlue and #MakeItBlue and #StayHomeKC. Click here to see a full list of participating cities.
