26 January – International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day 2025

We are EXCITED..!!! Why? Because International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day is THE biggest day in the Societi calendar. We’re excited to work with our superb supporters, our remarkable partners and for everything that will be happening throughout January in the lead up to this key day!

We NEED you to KNOW Kawasaki Disease

Why? Because Kawasaki Disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in UK children. It is important that everyone KNOWS Kawasaki Disease so that affected children can receive treatment quickly. This will reduce the risk of them suffering lifelong heart damage.

Kawasaki Disease can often get confused with other childhood illnesses which can lead to delays in a child’s treatment. However, there are ways that you can KNOW Kawasaki Disease and tell it apart from other illnesses that your child might have. This year, for International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day, we’re giving you all the information you NEED to KNOW Kawasaki Disease to help protect children’s hearts.

Sharing is Caring!

Societi runs an awareness campaign for International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day each year on our social media channels, posting every single day through the entire month of January. Visit our Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or X (Twitter) page and share, share, share our awareness raising posts so that ALL your family, ALL your friends and ALL your colleagues know to THINK Kawasaki Disease and can help protect tiny hearts too!

 

 

And… whatever you decide to do for International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day  –  and wherever you do it  –  please do let us know! We’d love to promote your event.
