To celebrate World Autism Day on April 2, Vernis & Bowling employees will wear blue on Friday, April 1. The color blue’s association to autism originated with the autism advocacy association known as Autism Speaks. Their “Light it Up Blue” campaign calls for people to wear blue to promote autism awareness. Blue is also the organization’s primary color, and is associated with a calm feeling and acceptance in an otherwise loud and busy world for people on the spectrum.
Additionally, The Autism Speaks Kindness Campaign encourages acceptance, understanding and inclusion with daily acts of kindness. On Friday, April 1, Vernis & Bowling employees will celebrate by doing random acts of kindness for their co-workers. We encourage our friends and business partners to do the same!
