BC Place glows pink for Sepsis Awareness Month

September 11th, 2020

BC Place will glow pink in support of Sepsis Awareness Month on Friday, September 11th.

Sepsis is a rare but serious complication resulting from a deadly inflammatory response to infection that contributes to over 8 million deaths worldwide every year. Sepsis disproportionately affects those with altered immune systems, such as infants, the elderly, women who are pregnant, or those already suffering infection or other health complications.
