The Meaning Behind Homes With Gold Porch Lights
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
Colored porch lights can enhance outdoor decor, but they are also a simple way to show support for social causes. Displaying a gold light can signify a very important meaning.
Gold porch lights have a festive and regal air to them but are also used to signify a call for childhood cancer awareness.
In 1997, a group of parents of children with cancer named gold the official color of childhood cancer awareness. Gold is precious and represents strength and resilience.
Several organizations, like the American Cancer Society, encourage individuals and businesses to illuminate their buildings with gold lights during September in support.
