Your patient organization, government entity, medical or other professional society, or company can support Rare Disease Day by becoming a Partner. This means that you:

• Support the theme of the day (that rare diseases are an important public health issue)
• Agree to promote the day through whatever means you have, such as posting the logo on your website or in your publications
• Agree to observe the day in the non-commercial spirit in which it was intended
• Join us in celebrating the unique partnership between rare disease patients and researchers, and the need for more research to develop safe, effective new treatments

You’ll receive helpful tools

As a Rare Disease Day partner, your organization or company will receive helpful tools created by NORD such as a press kit, stories and photos to share with your members or employees, and regular email blasts to let you know what other partners are doing.
