Month of Awareness

Have you benefited from the information, education, friendly support, and encouragement you received from the Sturge-Weber Foundation?  Don't keep it a secret.

 

Have you shown Branching Out to a neighbor or relative or have you given brochures or Check It Out cards to your doctor, employer or church friends?  Keep that good feeling moving along.

 

Let's be Partners and Maintain the Momentum.

  

AWARENESS. EMPOWERMENT. RESEARCH.

 

 

 

Each year, during the month of May, we ask our members to re-dedicate themselves and focus their attention on helping create awareness of SWS/PWS/KT in any way possible.  Your investment in The Sturge-Weber Foundation makes a difference now and in the future.

 

Every SWF member can do something!

 

  • Keep in the know by visiting www.sturge-weber.org and learning the facts
  • Contact your local newspaper or regional magazine with your story  
  • Organize an event that raises awareness and funds in your community 
  •  Ask your doctor(s) to display the SWF poster and keep a supply of brochures
  • Deliver the SWF ER guide to your local First Aid Squad and school nurse
  • Contact your school, place of worship, community organization or workplace to see if you can give a simple presentation about Sturge-Weber Syndrome.  We have the materials here, just ask!  Contact Anne at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
