What is MSD World Day?

MSD World Day is a day to acknowledge Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency, to shine a spotlight on those impacted by this ultra-rare disease, and to raise awareness around the world. Commemorations include a fundraising campaign, state proclamations, building/landmark illuminations, and other events planned by our partner MSD foundations in Argentina, Ireland, Spain, and Florida and Missouri in the United States.

Partner Foundations

MSD World Day was created together with our partner foundations. Visit MSD Action Foundation/SavingDylan.com, Fundacion Cure MSD, Cura MSD, Grant Us Grace, and strEngTHAN to learn more and to see how they are raising awareness for MSD World Day.

Fundraising Campaign

This year, all funds raised will go toward patient support—including individualized patient navigation, family support programs, translation and interpretation services, and more. You can help; donate today!

Social Media Ambassadors

MSD World Day social media ambassadors play a critical role in raising awareness and promoting our fundraising campaign. Contact us to learn more and see how you might participate. And look for #MSDWorldDay posts on Facebook and Instagram.

State Proclamations

State proclamations help raise awareness through state government, putting MSD in the spotlight at a critical time for research and initiatives such as Newborn Screening. In 2024, we received 12 state proclamations. That number will continue to grow each year.

Building/Landmark Illuminations

Another way to raise public awareness is through the illumination of buildings and landmarks. Our friends in Spain at Cura MSD are leading the way in this area. Stay tuned to see which buildings and/or landmarks are illuminated each year.
