FAQs
If I cannot make it to any of the events, what else can I do in my community?
There are so many things you can do! Organize a fashion show that celebrates all shapes and sizes… plan a walk-a-thon to encourage healthy attitudes… host a Candlelight Vigil so someone who is recovered can share their story… talk to your principal, guidance counselor, or dean about doing something at school… sell ANAD bracelets to spread a good message… purchase the new ANAD Mirror Cling-ons , use Purple Awareness ribbons: see all MERCHANDISE ... download flyers and post them anywhere and everywhere… and even participate in our daily EDAW Events! Daily EDAW events are fun activities you can do online and at home to help raise awareness and get involved. Be creative… you can spread eating disorders awareness with 1 person or 1 million.
How can I help raise money for eating disorders awareness?
