Our Shine Bright for CCM campaign has been lighting up the country since 2025 — literally — to raise awareness to this rare condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. Each building, bridge, landmark, and home that lights up in June represents a life touched by cavernous malformation, a family affected, and a community coming together to make this often-hidden disease visible.
Our goal is to see every state in the U.S. shining bright for CCM Awareness Month. Together, we can shed light on the need for research, support, and hope for all those living with this condition.
Want to help light the way? Contact ShineBright@alliancetocure.org to get involved.
We’re always excited to see new ways people raise awareness about CCM! If you have an idea for an event or campaign, we’d love to hear from you — and if you host one, we’d be thrilled to help share it with our community.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2026 Shine Bright Campaign! You truly are a part of illuminating awareness and inspiring hope!
