Each participating location will be featured on our World Fragile X Day map at worldfragilexday.com.

World Vitiligo Day: Established in 2011, this global event raises awareness about the challenges faced by those living with vitiligo, an autoimmune condition affecting 1%-2% of people worldwide.

Advocacy and finding a cure for DIPG - brainstem tumors. Our 7 year old daughter Elora Joyce Khan passed in Sept 2023 from the deadliest and most aggressive form of brain cancer DIPG. 7 months after diagnosis. DIPG remains inoperable/ incurable even 60 plus years after Neil Armstrong's daughter passed from DIPG. Many children across PA lose their lives every year.
DIPG is short for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. It is a highly aggressive and difficult to treat pediatric brain tumor. It is considered the deadliest type of cancer in existence. 400 children each year are handed a death sentence. The Pediatric cancer is severely underfunded, with kids getting less than 4% of the allotted amount of government money for cancer research. DIPG gets even less. With no funding, there will be no cure. With no awareness, there will be no funding.

This event is dedicated to raising advocacy and crucial funds for research aimed at finding a cure for pediatric brain tumors, specifically .We are proud research collaborators with the National DIPG brain Tumor Board and the DIPG/DMG Research Funding Alliance.
We aim to bringing our community together for a day filled with hope, inspiration, and meaningful connections.

National Naloxone Awareness Day heightens public awareness of the perils of opioid use and the importance of expanding access to lifesaving overdose reversal medications. The awareness day was launched in 2023 by Victoria’s Voice Foundation with support from a bipartisan congressional resolution recognizing the awareness day annually. Last year, over 70 building and landmarks nationwide, including several in Philadelphia, shined purple in recognition of National Naloxone Awareness Day.

Over 40 million Americans are impacted by headache and migraine disorders. A disease awareness day plays a vital role to raise public knowledge, address stigma and build a stronger community of patient advocates. #ShinePurpleForHeadache

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that affects 52,000 babies each year. It occurs when a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. 50% of babies born with CDH do not survive. The cause is unknown. CDH is as common as Spina Bifida and Cystic Fibrosis, yet there is little awareness and even less funding. www.cdhi.org

As part of Parkinson’s Disease Awareness we will be honoring and acknowledging those who suffer from Parkinson’s on World Parkinson’s Day by painting the world blue! This is our way of demonstrating our alliance and commitment to those who have, currently have and will get diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The blue light is supposed to demonstrate a beacon of hope for the future of the fight for Parkinson’s.
