Celebrate World Sepsis Day 2024 with Inspiring Ideas and Special Offers

The 13th World Sepsis Day is just 2 months away. Every year on September 13, individuals and organizations worldwide come together to educate and inform communities about the importance of early recognition and treatment of sepsis.

This year, we want to make World Sepsis Day bigger and better than ever. Join over 7,000 facilities and organizations worldwide by hosting your own event. Discover ideas, inspirations, and exclusive offers from our WSD Shop to help spread awareness and make a significant difference in the fight against sepsis.

Public Events

  • Host sports events like community walks or runs, bicycle tours, and volleyball tournaments – the range of possible events is wide. Use pink t-shirts to attract attention, like our WSD T-shirts or our sports jersey, and plan the route so lots of people see you, for example through a town square, or similar. Hand out information leaflets along the way.

  • Organize a gala event or a special dinner – WSD is a glamorous opportunity to raise awareness for sepsis in your network, including for fundraising. For example, check out the Sepsis Heroes Gala Event by the Sepsis Alliance.

Pink Picnic

Set up a pink picnic. Pink Picnics are social events where pink is used to signify the relation to World Sepsis Day. You can include pink salads or cupcakes, BBQs, treats, beverages, plates, other table decor...and whatever you can think of. Decorate using pink balloons. Both pink picnic, as well as event materials, are available in our toolkit section.

ILLUMINATE A BUILDING
