Ivey announces Light Up Friday Nights campaign

Participating in Light Up Friday Nights is easy. Alabamians can simply turn on their porch lights each Friday night in October to show support for healthcare heroes.

Today, Gov. Kay Ivey called on Alabamians to pay tribute to healthcare heroes for their continued efforts in fighting COVID-19. In her proclamation, Ivey asked Alabamians to thank these heroes by leaving their porch lights on every Friday in October and showing their appreciation at school sporting events this week. 

“We’re lighting up Friday nights for our heroes. I’m continually amazed at the dedication of healthcare employees who work all year long to care for us and who during tough times, such as COVID, only seem to work harder,” Ivey said in a press release. “We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for the countless hours they’ve spent at hospitals, clinics and other facilities saving lives and helping to prevent the spread of this virus.”
