Spina Bifida Awareness Month
October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month!
October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month — a time to celebrate the more than 166,000 people nationwide who are living with Spina Bifida. Each October, we celebrate the vibrance of our community, share information that raises awareness and strengthens support for individuals and families, and encourage others to get involved. This month, honor someone you love with Spina Bifida.
We can all make a difference, whether by raising awareness within our own circles through personal outreach, reaching broader audiences through social media, or finding new ways to get involved through advocacy.
To make it easy to participate, we’ve created the Spina Bifida Awareness Month Toolkit below. There you’ll find a variety of ready-to-use resources that you can download, share, and use to help spread awareness throughout October.
Join us, share your voice, and help raise awareness of Spina Bifida this October!
Tag us and use #SBAM26 and #SpinaBifidaAwarenessMonth all month long.
