MARCH 12th-18th IS GRIN2B AWARENESS WEEK*

GRIN2B Awareness Week was previously the 3rd week in March. Moving forward, we are changing GRIN2B Awareness Week from the 3rd week to 3/12 – 3/18. We chose the 12th to start off our week because GRIN2B is located on the 12th chromosome.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all week long as we share facts about GRIN2B, as well as photos of our darling children, affectionately known as our “bees”. Please like and share our posts to help spread awareness.

Additional ways you can be involved:

  • In early March, add our GRIN2B Awareness frame to add to your Facebook profile picture.
  • Purchase our Awareness t-shirts and merchandise.
  • Purchase a GRIN2B Awareness yard sign to display in front of your house!
  • Give a talk at your church, school or community center. Download our GRIN2B Awareness Google Slide presentation for elementary school children and modify it for your own child!
  • Pass out a GRIN2B Info Sheet at your school, customized for your child. Email lauren.hookings@grin2b.com and she can customize this info sheet for your child.
  • Reach out to your local media to educate people about GRIN2B-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder.
  • Host a fundraiser. See our Fundraising page for more info. Download our brochure.

TELL US

*In 2018 and 2019, we celebrated GRIN2B Awareness during the entire month of March. Starting in 2020, we changed it from a month to a week for two reasons. 1. It’s honestly much simpler for our Volunteer Board to manage a week’s worth of amazing Awareness content as opposed to a month. 2. We partnered with our friends at Cure GRIN Foundation to turn March into GRI Awareness Month.
