Colors will be dark blue and orange to commemorate the 219th Anniversary of the US Coast Guard.

The bridge lights will be red/hot pink for Betsy Anderson, a Portland native, and David Gottlieb, native of NYC, who marry on Sat. Sept. 5th. Then in October due to employment they will move to Moscow, Russia.

Purple and Gold this week to celebrate the University of Washington and encourage the Huskies!

Various iconic buildings and sites throughout the world will once again be decked with light in the color of the blue circle symbol for diabetes, the central component of the World Diabetes Day campaign logo. We are so thrilled the Morrison Bridge will join these other sites around the world. See also www.worlddiabetesday.org

The 23d through 29th are the first seven days that Bob Miller (of KPAM Radio, the flagship for OSU) and the OSU Foundation have reserved to celebrate Oregon State University.

The bridge piers will be wearing all red tonight & during the pre-dawn hours of Dec. 1st to help us all note the importance of conquering this world-wide disease. We remember all who have been affected by this disease, directly and indirectly, and we applaud those who search for cures and provide care.

These three days of all orange celebrate Oregon State University and support its football team in the annual Civil War Game.

This is our first Lighting Partner who has chosen a dynamic pattern of colors on the Morrison piers! Kennedy/Jenks Consultants celebrates 90 years of providing engineering, environmental science, and architectural services, including fifteen years in Portland. See www.kennedyjenks.com for information about this firm of engineers and scientists and the work they do.

Scarlet & Gray as requested.

Scarlet & Gray for New Year's Day

In memory of JJ Stewart and other children who fight illness and in support of their families who fight with and for them, the Morrison will wear red & gold all this month (except for National Wear Red Day for the Heart Assn). JJ was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 7 months. During his six very engaged years, the bridges over the Willamette R. were his thing. He delighted in being driven over them, in seeing them from his hospital bed, in reciting facts about them to everyone he encountered and in getting to see the first illumination of the Morrison. WLB is extremely pleased his family wants to share his love of our bridges with all of us by illuminating the Morrison during his birthday month. JJ was born on Valentine's Day.

The American Heart Association is proud to have the Morrison Bridge wearing all red today in honor of nationwide efforts to cure heart disease.

The Morrison will be decked out all in pink for Jocelyn and Daniel's Sunday evening wedding. Have a look at the lights and wish them well!

Pacific Power, a sponsor of several Rose Festival events, has requested rosey hues to begin at the end of the Festival's opening ceremony & just before the fireworks begin. The lights will continue their dynamic pattern over the weekend and the rose colors will remain for the bulk of the festival period.

WLB is especially pleased to help Pacific Power celebrate its 100 years of service to this area. In addition to its innovations in efficiency and renewable energy--the first wind farm, first solar and efficiency demonstration home; its Earth Stewardship, Green Corps and Blue Sky programs-- Pacific Power was the major sponsor of the upgrade of the Morrison Bridge lighting system. The switch to LED fixtures uses only one-eighth the power the white floodlights needed, and now a wide variety of colors can be programmed via a computer from the Bridge Shop--no more changing by hand of color gels out on each fixture. This innovative lighting system has become a way for the community to share, educate, inform and celebrate events by putting their individual colors on the Morrison Bridge. Pacific Power is doing just that with blue and red company colors for its 100th anniversary! The region is lucky they opened a headquarters in Portland in 1910 and that Pacific Power continues to be such a good supporter of the community.

Once again a Husky fan is sponsoring purple and gold on the bridge piers in honor of the University of Washington and its football team. WLB knows that most viewers will enjoy the lights just because they are lovely and agrees with those who believe they are a cleverly civilized way of expressing loyalty and rivalry.

WLB is pleased to help the region participate again this year in recognizing November 14th as World Diabetes Day by shining their two-tone blue colors. Just as there are worldwide efforts to assuage and cure diabetes, the blue colors of the campaign against this disease are being shown at events today in various cities around the globe to honor these efforts. We hope it helps get the word out about the causes and cures of this serious disease.
