MSD WORLD DAY
JULY 30
Get Involved!
Fundraising (Peer-to-Peer) Campaign
Get ready to make a major impact this MSD World Day!
On July 30, 2026, the United MSD Foundation is celebrating an extraordinary milestone as years of groundbreaking research move closer than ever to life-changing clinical trials.
To help us reach this next chapter, we are launching our Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign from June 19 through July 30, bringing our global community together to raise awareness, inspire action, and support families preparing for upcoming clinical trials.
Getting started is simple and powered by your story. By creating a personal fundraising page and sharing why this mission matters to you, you can help rally friends, family, and coworkers to make a meaningful impact. Every dollar raised and every story shared helps strengthen family support programs, reduce barriers to clinical trial participation, and advance the research that is bringing new hope to children and families living with MSD.
Together, we are showing what it means to be Built on Hope. Bound for Breakthroughs.
Our fundraising toolkit includes everything you need to get started: ideas, ready-made graphics, photos, sample messaging, and resources to help you launch your own campaign with ease. This is a fun and simple way to show your support for MSD research and family programs.
Raising Awareness
State Proclamations
State proclamations help raise awareness through state and local government leaders, putting MSD in the spotlight and supporting advocacy efforts such as newborn screening.
Landmark Illuminations
Buildings, bridges, landmarks, and public spaces illuminated in MSD World Day colors help spark conversations and raise visibility for our community around the world.

Lab Door Decorating Contest
The 2025 Blue Wave Door Decorating Contest added a vibrant new dimension to our MSD World Day celebrations last year, transforming laboratory halls across the globe into canvases of hope.
This initiative bridged the distance between our families and the front lines of science, reminding us that behind every breakthrough are dedicated individuals pouring their hearts into a cure. Our international research partners competed for the most inspiring “Blue Wave” display, with the global MSD community casting their votes on Facebook to crown a champion, the CHOP Leukodystrophy Center led by Dr. Laura Adang.
