Help us make sure the world knows about NF
Neurofibromatosis, or NF, occurs in 1 of every 3,000 people, affecting more than 2.5 million people around the world. So why don’t more people know about it? Because there is no one way to define NF. Just like there is no one way to define a person living with NF. Patients with visible signs of NF struggle to be seen as more than just their NF, while patients whose NF is invisible struggle to make others understand.
Here is how you can help
Shine a Light on NF is a grassroots initiative that brings NF awareness into the community by lighting up homes, buildings, bridges and monuments in blue and green throughout the month of May (NF Awareness Month) or on May 17th (World NF Awareness Day). Below are some of the buildings and landmarks in BC that began to "Light Up" May 17th.

Shine a Light at home
Shine a Light on NF makes NF visible by lighting homes, buildings, and landmarks across the globe in blue and green, the official colors of NF. You can bring this effort to your neighborhood by lighting up your home in blue and green.
You can also decorate your driveway or sidewalk with chalk pictures, messages, or NF facts.
Wear Blue and Green
Wear blue and green on May 17 in honor of World NF Awareness Day and green and blue on May 22 for NF2 Awareness Day! Find anything blue and/or green in your closet (we promise we won't judge if you're in PJs all day!)
Share NF Facts
Teach others about NF using our Resource Library. Consider sharing one NF fact a day throughout the month on social media, making NF fact lawn signs, or download materials and email to friends, coworkers, teachers, or family who might want to learn more about NF.
Spread the Word on Social Media
- Change your profile picture to one that celebrates NF Awareness!
- Download our Facebook Profile Frame or one of our many social media badges below to let everyone know what cause you're supporting.

High Quality for print or posters.
NF Awareness Month.
1080 x 1080
170 x 170
The tools below created by the Children’s Tumour Foundation make outreach even easier for you. See the flyer and sample emails you can send below.
Remember, the entire month of May is NF Awareness Month, so if you can't get May 17 (World NF Awareness Day), any day in May will work. Every day is a good day to shine a light on NF!
With your help we can shine brighter. Download your toolkit to make a request in your city.
Let’s work together to Shine a Light on NF!
