洛杉矶市政厅为何亮起青色灯光？致敬卵巢癌防治宣传月，与抗癌组织携手十年
据洛杉矶市政府官网（lacity.gov）10月9日发布的消息，每年9月，洛杉矶市政厅都会亮起青色灯光，以纪念卵巢癌防治宣传月（Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month）。今年的亮灯标志着市政府与抗癌组织"卵巢癌之圈"（The Ovarian Cancer Circle）携手走过第十个年头。
据介绍，"卵巢癌之圈"为纪念罗宾·巴比尼（Robin Babbini）而设立，致力于提高公众对卵巢癌的认识、支持幸存者及其家庭，并为受疾病影响的人群发声。青色灯光成为希望、缅怀与社区团结的有力象征。十年来，该组织与洛杉矶市领导人并肩合作，将防治卵巢癌的信息传递到全市各个社区。
市政府表示，每年的市政厅亮灯仪式体现了双方在教育、倡导与支持方面的共同承诺。倡导者们感谢洛杉矶市议会议员十年来的持续合作与支持，并期待未来更多年继续点亮青色灯光，提高公众对卵巢癌的认识。据市议会文件，市政厅不仅是地方政府的所在地，更是城市认同的象征，其夜晚灯光常被用于表达团结、庆祝与纪念。
