In-Person Luncheon:
September 12 at 11AM, Tiffany Ballroom, Norwood, MA
In honor of this annual worldwide day dedicated to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, we bring individuals and families, Duchenne experts, and industry partners together to recognize different aspects of Duchenne life, acknowledge the challenges still to come, and show that we are Stronger than Duchenne.
In 2026, we will host both in-person and virtual awareness for World Duchenne Awareness Month. We are excited to connect with you this September!
Pre-registration is now available with more details to come on this year’s shirt design, box item preview, event speakers, and more.
Grab your official Jett Foundation World Duchenne Awareness Day shirt today to rock this year’s fun, vintage baseball look while proudly sporting the bold red that unites our community in awareness.
Our WDAD Awareness Boxes contain items to aid in your awareness activities, show your Jett swag, and participate from home. We encourage you to snap pictures using these items, tag @JettFoundation on social media, and spread Duchenne awareness anywhere you can!
