A proclamation is an official designation of an event and can be a great way to educate the public about a specific issue or bring attention to a cause. A proclamation is an effective tool for gaining public recognition of your event because it carries the full support of a key government official in your state or community.
June 23rd is International Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day. We encourage you to submit a proclamation request to your local government offices as well. We have provided an example below.

Dear [Recipient’s Name],
I am writing to respectfully request an Awareness Day Proclamation to bring attention to and officially recognize Dravet syndrome in our community. Dravet syndrome is a rare and severe form of epilepsy beginning in infancy that affects children and adults, causing frequent seizures and developmental delays. It is imperative that we raise awareness about this condition to support affected individuals and families, advance research efforts, and promote understanding and acceptance within our community.
Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day, observed on June 23rd each year, provides an opportunity for us to unite in solidarity with those affected by Dravet syndrome and to educate others about this debilitating condition. By officially recognizing Dravet Syndrome Awareness Day, we can demonstrate our commitment to supporting individuals with Dravet syndrome and their families, as well as fostering a more inclusive and compassionate community.
I believe that a proclamation from [City/County/Tribal/State/Country] would not only raise awareness about Dravet syndrome but also signify our dedication to improving the lives of those affected by this disorder. I am confident that through education, advocacy, and support, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with Dravet syndrome and their families.
If there are any specific guidelines or procedures for requesting a proclamation, please let me know, and I will ensure that all necessary steps are taken to facilitate this request. I am also available to provide additional information or answer any questions you may have about Dravet syndrome and the importance of raising awareness.
Thank you for considering this request. Your support in recognizing Dravet syndrome Awareness Day would be greatly appreciated and would contribute to our collective efforts to make our community more inclusive and supportive for all individuals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
