EC-1 Pink Illumination

Global Illumination is a unique initiative to put the spotlight on breast cancer awareness by illuminating buildings, monuments and landmarks around the world in a blaze of pink light!

Global Illumination officially launches Pink Ribbon month in October - internationally recognized as breast cancer month. Every October, thousands of individuals, families, schools and businesses from across the globe focus on the impact of breast cancer and help raise funds for vital research into its prevention, detection and treatment.

“Korea will also join the upcoming Global Illumination event and illuminate the sky of Seoul to generate public support for breast cancer research.”
