GRI Awareness Month

March 1 - March 31

Get ready for GRI Disorder Awareness Month in March. CureGRIN, GRIN2B Foundation, and GRI parent support groups and associations are partnering in a month-long campaign for all GRI Disorders. Each GRIN, GRIA, GRIK, and GRID genes will be highlighted throughout the month.

Join us the night of February 28 and throughout the month of March to #lightupforrare and spread awareness about GRI Disorders. Tune in for landmarks all over the world to be lit up in CureGRIN colors (orange, blue and purple).
