Vitiligo Awareness Month Declared By MA Governor
June has been declared Vitiligo Awareness Month by the Governor of Massachusetts, thanks to Valarie Molyneaux and VITFriends from Boston. Massachusetts is the home state for the majority of biotech and biopharma companies, so there is no doubt they'll take a note.
Another indication of the World Vitiligo Day campaign success is that 18 U.S. State governors and numerous city mayors declared June ‘Vitiligo Awareness Month’ recently.
