Toowoomba Regional Council is lighting up city landmarks tonight (Friday, February 28, 2025) as a show of support for all residents living with a rare disease or supporting loved ones who have a rare condition.
Toowoomba Region Deputy Mayor Cr Rebecca Vonhoff and Cr Edwina Farquhar, along with Council colleagues, are supporting the lighting campaign as part of Rare Disease Day promotions that will be marked across Australia and more than 100 countries across the world.
Cr Vonhoff said Council was lighting Toowoomba City Hall, the City Hall Annex and the Victoria Street bridge to join the campaign shining coloured lights on the promotional day run in conjunction with the Nerve Connection Foundation, among other partners.
"Residents will notice a combination of colours illuminating our city landmarks on February 28," Cr Vonhoff said.
"Lighting our landmarks is a symbolic show of support for people living with a rare disease, their families, carers, associated organisations and medical professionals who treat them.
