The Outdoor Media Association (OMA) and its members have again pledged support for RSL initiative ‘Light Up The Dawn’ ahead of Anzac Day.
OMA members will help promote the initiative nationwide across digital signs. ‘Light Up The Dawn’ first came about in 2020 to encourage Aussies to honour the armed forces despite COVID-19 forcing the cancellation of the traditional march and services.
RSL Queensland state president Tony Ferris said, “In 2020, Light Up the Dawn brought us all together in a year of great challenge and change, where the Australian community stood united – in uniforms or pyjamas, wearing medals, poppies and sprigs of rosemary – to let Australian veterans know that their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.”
