🧡 Go Orange for PWS Day – Date Change Announcement! 🧡
We’re excited to share an important update about Go Orange for PWS Day!
After thoughtful discussion, our incredible SUAS subcommittee (made up of adults living with PWS) have voted to move Go Orange for PWS Day to May 15th each year.
Previously, we recognised this special day on the last Friday of May. However, the new date holds powerful meaning — Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by a difference on the 15th chromosome, making the 15th a deeply significant and symbolic choice.
By moving to May 15th, we strengthen the connection between awareness and the genetic foundation of PWS, while centering the voices and leadership of adults living with PWS in this decision.
📅 Mark your calendars: May 15th 2026
🧡 Wear orange
🧡 Raise awareness
🧡 Celebrate and support the PWS community
Thank you for continuing to stand with us and help shine a light on PWS!
