On December 5, the world showed up.
Families, clinicians, hospitals, researchers, organizations, and partners across continents came together for the second International Neuroblastoma Awareness Day. This year marked a meaningful leap forward, not just in reach, but in connection.
Over the course of the campaign, Neuroblastoma Day reached more than 1.3 million people worldwide, nearly doubling its impact from the first year. Engagement spanned online and offline spaces, reflecting a growing global community committed to improving outcomes for children facing neuroblastoma.
What began with one child’s story is becoming something larger. A movement that is stronger, louder, and more connected with each passing year.
A Community That Showed Up
This year’s Neuroblastoma Day demonstrated the power of collective action. Across countries and time zones, families shared their stories, clinicians exchanged knowledge, hospitals and advocacy organizations amplified awareness, and partners helped bring vital conversations to the forefront.
Participation included:
20 partner organizations across 12 countries
Hospitals actively involved in the U.S., UK, Greece, Israel, Switzerland, and France
6 pharmaceutical and medical companies supporting awareness and education efforts
Families, nurses, clinicians, researchers, and advocates engaging across platforms and communities
Together, these voices helped elevate neuroblastoma awareness and reinforce a shared commitment to progress.
The Global Pledge
A new element of Neuroblastoma Day 2025 was the launch of the Global Neuroblastoma Pledge. Voices from 69 locations worldwide, from Osaka to Oregon and beyond, joined in calling for earlier diagnosis, better care, and stronger research.
The geographic spread of the pledge highlighted how deeply this message resonates across cultures, healthcare systems, and communities.
Education and shared learning were central to this year’s efforts. The second annual Global Neuroblastoma Summit brought together 11 experts and advocates, with families and professionals tuning in from 22 countries.
Moving Forward Together
Neuroblastoma Day did not end on December 5. The momentum continued with professional gatherings, media coverage, and ongoing educational programming, including the Second Annual Nurses Conference in Tel Aviv and our monthly webinar series continuing into 2026. As we move forward, the impact of Neuroblastoma Day 2025 affirms what this community continues to show. When families, clinicians, researchers, and partners come together, progress accelerates. Together, we continue to light a path of knowledge, strength, and hope for children and families facing neuroblastoma.
