AWARENESS WITH UNDERSTANDING
October 9 · PANDAS/PANS Awareness Day
A day to listen, learn, and help families feel less alone.
Wear green, share a reliable explanation, invite a conversation, or offer a small act of kindness. Children and families can choose whether and how they participate. No one has to share their health story.

A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING
Light It Up Green
Our vision is to bring green hearts and awareness into communities across the United States. Light a window or display a green heart with permission, and share why understanding matters.
Our interactive map will eventually show verified awareness activities and participation by state. The map is Coming Soon; there are no live submissions, participation totals, or confirmed Hub events yet.
