Association of Migraine Disorders
Shades for Migraine
Shades for Migraine is a successful social media campaign created in 2017 by the Association of Migraine Disorders as a way to create a viral buzz around a disease that affects more than 1 billion people worldwide. Annually, people living with migraine, along with their friends, families, and coworkers post pictures on social media wearing sunglasses on (and around) June 21, the longest day of the year. Participants use #ShadesForMigraine and challenge others to take part to make the campaign go viral. Sunglasses are a visual representation of migraine as many people experience extreme sensitivity to light. This initiative gives people a platform to share their connection to migraine disease, in the hopes of spurring more conversation.
