More than 1,300 structures around the world will “Go Teal” this year to raise awareness and show support for the millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s. If you have access to an office building, campus, monument, or even your house, you can be a part of “Light the World in Teal”! You can still wear teal and update your social media cover photo to help raise awareness!
National Diabetes Month
November is National Diabetes Month, a time when communities across the country seek to bring attention to diabetes. This year’s focus is on taking action to prevent diabetes health problems.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It affects about 38 million Americans, including adults and youth. Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart, and it is linked to some types of cancer.
But there’s also good news: Taking charge of your health may help you prevent diabetes health problems.
National Epilepsy Awareness Month
November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month (NEAM), and the call to action is “Share Your Purple Power.” This year’s theme celebrates the unwavering strength, resilience, and courage of epilepsy warriors, alongside their families, caregivers, and advocates. By amplifying our purple power through personal journey stories, education, and awareness, we can foster a united community that breaks down stigma and empowers everyone in their journey. Together, we have the power to shine a light on the incredible strength of the epilepsy community and make a lasting impact for epilepsy awareness.
National Military Family Month
National Military Family Month 2024 is an annual observance dedicated to recognizing and honoring the sacrifices and contributions of military families. This month-long campaign acknowledges the unique challenges faced by military families and seeks to provide support, resources, and appreciation for their resilience and dedication.

National Native American Heritage Month
National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated in November to honor the history, culture, and achievements of Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and affiliated Island communities.

Parker, a Seneca archaeologist and director of the Rochester Museum and Science Center, advocated for a federal recognition day for Native Americans. In 1916, New York became the first state to recognize “American Indian Day”. President George H.W. Bush signed the official designation into loaw in 1990.
