Help light up landmarks around the country on February 28th!
Rare Disease Day is an important time for the rare community to come together and shine a light on the over 10,000 rare diseases that impact over 300 million people globally. One way to Show Your Stripes® is to help our community light up as many buildings and landmarks as possible in Rare Disease Day colors on or around February 28!
