Q: Can the Naples Daily News light its building in purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October?

— K.T., Golden Gate

A: The newspaper office reflects your wish to shed light on an issue that hits home for too many people.

Beginning on the night of Oct. 1 and continuing through the month, purple spotlights will color the front of the newspaper’s headquarters at 1100 Immokalee Road.

The “Purple Night Lights” nationwide campaign is intended to increase awareness of domestic violence issues and their effect upon local children and families.
