Today the dome of City Hall will be lit red in solidarity of Lymphoma Awareness Day. Together, with other cities across the world, we will ‘Light Red for Lymphoma’ to increase awareness of lymphoma and other blood cancers. To learn more about Light it Red for Lymphoma visit lymphoma.org/lightitred.

The dome will also be lit red to represent the Buffalo Bills home opener and the NFL Thursday Night Football uniform color rush. I would like to wish the Bills the best of luck during the season.
