    There does not seem to be a Mesothelioma Awareness Day in the U.S. However, April 1 is Asbestos Awareness Day, and April 1-7 is Asbestos Awareness Week. There is a conference held each year, presented by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO), which is based in California. The conference is in Detroit, Michigan this year, March 28-30. There is a post about it on this site, and registration deadline is today. I'm working to establish an Asbestos Awareness Day event in Montgomery, Alabama, since that's where I'm based, on April 1, to coincide with the national awareness day, and I'll be posting more information about that in the coming weeks. Thank you for reading, and continue to check back for new information. I'll also be attending the ADAO conference and posting from there!

    Kirsten, I just learned that there is a Meso Awareness Day in the U.S.! It is September 26. It is sponsored / organized by the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF), often just called The Meso Foundation.
