This International Angelman Day.
The goal is to raise awareness of Angelman syndrome worldwide, mobilize people to action, encourage fundraising, promote research and educational resources and to remember those individuals with AS who are no longer with us.
It is a campaign that everyone – parents, family, friends, and even those that do not know an individual with Angelman syndrome – can get involved in.
The Angelman community has some extraordinary events lined up for you to participate in – together, we will make this amazing.
Celebrity Awareness Launch
On February 13th, several celebrities will take to social media to raise awareness about Angelman syndrome and show their support for FAST. They will post videos and tweets that may very well reach millions of people. Watch and ‘Like’ the FAST Facebook page for the first celebrity video launch Wednesday at 5:00 PM Central Standard Time. Additional celebrities will be showcased on Thursday.
Be a part of this first-ever social media blitz to raise awareness of and research funds for Angelman syndrome.
