The FSH Society is excited to celebrate the Second Annual World FSHD Day and join the global effort to raise awareness to FSHD this June 20th. To build upon last year’s success, we’re calling upon you—our biggest supporters—to spread the word!
We ask that you join us along with members of FSHD Champions in participating in our Orange Slice Selfies campaign. With orange as the official color of World FSHD Day, we’re asking that supporters post a photo of themselves to social media using an orange slice in place of their smile with the official hashtag #WorldFSHDDay.

Additionally, we encourage supporters throughout the country to reach out to their local Department of Public Works in an effort to light up notable landmarks (bridges, buildings) orange in honor of patients and families. With Boston’s famed Zakim Bridge set to be lit orange on June 20, we would be thrilled to have the country from coast to coast lit orange!
Within this year’s 2017 World FSHD Day Toolkit, you will find example social posts to share your selfies, an email template to share Orange Slice Selfie photos with reporters at your local newspaper, and materials to assist in contacting your local Department of Public Works to light up your local landmark orange.
Please find an editable Word document of the toolkit below, and don’t forget to share your photos with us using #WorldFSHDDay on June 20! Please feel free to contact us at info@fshdsociety.org with any questions.
