On World AIDS Day, Landmarks Around the World Will Turn (RED) Once Again

Turning famous landmarks (RED) on World AIDS Day has become a bit of a tradition at (RED). And once again, on December 1st, cities around the world will unite and illuminate landmarks (RED) to honor World AIDS Day. 

Will your city have a (RED) skyline on December 1st? Cities and landmarks turning (RED) include the Empire State Building in New York, The London Eye, the Sydney Opera House, the Wrigley Building in Chicago, the CN Tower in Toronto and Table Mountain in Cape Town.
