Alpha-1 Awareness Month
November is Alpha-1 Awareness Month and during this time, the Alpha-1 Foundation launches the #Alpha1Awareness campaign to increase awareness of Alpha-1 while also raising funds to find a cure and improve the lives of those affected by this rare disease. We encourage everyone – every Alpha, family member, caregiver, friend, healthcare professional and researcher – to participate! You can get involved by downloading our free Alpha-1 Awareness resources, such as the digital toolkit, sharing #Alpha1Awareness content on social media, and registering for upcoming events including the Virtual Walk 2021, 2021 Fall Virtual Alpha-1 Lobby Day , and the November Virtual Alpha-1 Education Day.
Digital Awareness Toolkit
Post any of these shareable #Alpha1Awareness images as your profile pictures and/or share them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram from November 1st to 30th. Be sure to tag the Alpha-1 Foundation and don’t forget to use the official Alpha-1 awareness hashtag #Alpha1Awareness! Need ideas for captions?

All resources are easily printable on 8.5” x 11” paper.
The 2021 Alpha-1 Virtual Walks allow anyone who wants to make a difference in the Alpha-1 community to contribute in their own style, in their own time, and at their own pace. Any level of activity can participate, put on your Virtual Walk t-shirt and join the movement!
The Alpha-1 Foundation invites you to participate in our 2021 Fall Virtual Alpha-1 Lobby Day on Wednesday, November 10, where we will meet with our elected officials to discuss the priorities of the Alpha-1 community.
