World Vitiligo Day (or Purple Fun Day as it was originally called) was established on June 25, 2011 by Ogo Maduewesi; Founder and President of the Vitiligo Support and Awareness Foundation in Lagos, Nigeria. Each year since then, global celebrations are hosted by vitiligo support entities to show unity and representation for people who live with this complex auto immune disorder.
Litty Ligo Boston is hosting our inaugural event on World Vitiligo Day to honor the humble beginnings of this day back in Nigeria almost a decade ago.
Join us for a day of fun, informative activities that raise awareness and build community!
Enjoy games, contests, youth activities, giveaways, resources, vendors and more as we recognize this very special day!
