MFOMS Launched Official MSAD 2026 Campaign in September

REMINGTON, Va. - EntSun -- Global Campaign Kicks Off — Wear Purple for Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day

Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome (MFOMS) is proud to announce the 15th anniversary of Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day (MSAD), set for January 24, 2026. Since its inception in 2011, MSAD has united individuals, families, and communities across the world to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and celebrate the voices of people with Moebius syndrome.

A Legacy of Awareness

The inaugural MSAD in 2011 attracted widespread media attention—from Australia to the United States—and sparked tens of thousands of visits to the MFOMS website within its first 24 hours. Over time, what began as a day of awareness has evolved into a global movement of pride and storytelling.
