Migraine impacts 1 in 7 people, so the Association of Migraine Disorders is heading to Second Beach to raise awareness and lead beach-goers to helpful resources through the Shades for Migraine campaign.
On June 15, volunteers will start conversations about migraine with beach-goers and hand out hundreds of the campaign’s signature symbol: purple sunglasses.
While migraine is a serious topic, this event will be fun and light-hearted, drawing in the crowd with a sand sculpture by Steve Topazio, giveaways from Del’s and Jersey Mikes, a photo station and much more.
The campaign challenges people to post a picture wearing sunglasses on June 21st with #ShadesForMigraine and then challenge others.
