International Mast Cell Diseases Awareness Day is October 20, 2023!

It will be here before we know it and we are cooking up some fun ways to recognize and commemorate the day. 

One great way to raise awareness about mast cell diseases is to have your governor make a state proclamation naming October 20^th, 2023, officially as Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Diseases Awareness Day for your state.

2021 Proclamation from Maryland ‘s Gov. Hogan

In nearly all cases you need to be a resident of the state you are applying in. Some states require applications several months in advance, unfortunately. BUT… there is still time to request a proclamation from your governor in a few states. The states below require 45 days or less advanced notice to apply.

You can click on your states name to get to the application or instructions and you can customize this template to your state: >> TEMPLATE

Time is running out, so if this interests you, act now!

If you do apply for a proclamation, please email us and let us know: info@tmsforacure.org
