The Jack McGovern Coats' Disease Foundation is proud to join forces with millions around the world living with a rare disease to celebrate Rare Disease Day®!
Hosted on February 28, 2026, Rare Disease Day is an annual awareness day dedicated to raising public understanding of rare diseases and highlighting the special challenges people living with a rare disease face.
Coats' Disease is a rare disease. There is no cure, but we are diligently working to change that! Your support will help us raise awareness among pediatricians and physicians to recognize the warning signs of Coats' Disease, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses. The faster a patient is diagnosed, the greater the chance of saving their eyesight!
How can you help? Here are some ways to celebrate the many Coats' Warriors we strive to support:
Access the Photo Template (Canva), add your Coats' patient image, and share on your social media!
Download customizable messages for family and friends templates and invite family and friends to join you in the efforts to find a cure.
Share Your Story so that we can help spread the word about each Coats' patient's journey with Coats' Disease
Make a Donation. Your donation today will help us fund additional research for a cure and improved treatments, raise awareness to enable earlier diagnoses, and support patients and their families during their lifelong journey with Coats' Disease.
