Choose Your Landmark Select a prominent landmark in your city—such as a monument, bridge, statue, or fountain—to highlight World Thrombosis Day and spread awareness locally.

Plan Ahead Landmarks often receive numerous illumination requests for various causes. By reaching out early, you increase your chances of securing a spot for WTD. If October 13 is not available, ask if it can be illuminated the week before or after.

If necessary, the publicity department can direct you to the right person. Most landmarks have a website where you can find additional information.

Promote Your Event Once your landmark illumination is confirmed, submit it to the World Thrombosis Day website with your event details. Promote it on social media using hashtags like #WTDay24, #KnowThrombosis, and #KeepLifeFlowing. Send the World Thrombosis Day press release to local TV and radio stations.
