The team has invited fans to participate in the World Diabetes Day event at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, which will include Seahawk's Blue Thunder drumline and Blitz, the mascot.
Elsewhere around Seattle and the nation, people have been showing support for the day by dying a streak of their hair blue, a trend being called the Blue Streak Challenge.
Buildings in the city and around the world are donning blue lights to honor the cause, including Seattle's Novo Nordisk building and the Department of Health in Pennsylvania.
The International Diabetes Federation has an interactive
world map which shows users how to pinpoint activities in their area to celebrate World Diabetes Day.
