What is HADDS Awareness Month?
​
HADDS Awareness Month was created by the Foundation in 2019 to rally our community around a central focus -- raising HADDS Awareness and celebrating each other!
Being part of a rare community is an opportunity to be ambassadors and teachers within local communities, educating others about HADDS.
​​
How can you get involved?
​​
There are many ways to get involved, and the calendar of events highlights the major activities happening throughout the month. Additional details about each event will be shared through our social media channels. Some people join every event, while others choose what works best for their schedule. You’re also encouraged to take the initiative and raise awareness for HADDS and 10q26 deletion in your own unique way—whether it’s organizing a fundraiser, sharing information on social media, or starting a community conversation. Every effort makes a difference!
