Event
Massachusetts State House, Boston
State Rep Rob Consalvo, Chair Adrian Madaro (a proud vitiligo warrior), and Chair John Lawn have extended an invitation to VITFriends for an unprecedented indoor rally at the MA State House on June 28th, 2023.
This marks a historic moment, as VITFRiends' last event was on the steps of this iconic building back in 2015 (see photos.)
The State House, located in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, is the heart of the Massachusetts government. Join VITFriends as we stand together for vitiligo awareness!
