JUNE declared as Vitiligo Awareness Month by the Governor of Massachusetts

VITFriends is proud to announce that Governor Charles D. Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn E. Polito have proclaimed June as Vitiligo Awareness Month. Join us for a rally on the steps of the MA State Capitol on June 25th at 12:30 PM. This is a chance to share our stories and journeys with the community and state leaders. Bring your lunch, friends, family, signs, and banners to support the vitiligo community, which has long gone unnoticed.
