Sepsis Awareness Month
Join or host an event, educate yourself, and raise awareness about the causes and signs of sepsis. It could save your life or the life of another someday.
Position your healthcare, wellness, or nonprofit brand as a trusted partner in sepsis education and prevention during September awareness month.

- Launch a social media campaign featuring survivor stories and medical expert insights on sepsis recognition
Help to spread the word
One of the main aims of Sepsis Awareness Month is to help people become more aware of this condition and the symptoms that are associated with it. This is something that we can all help to play a part in. You can easily download handouts and infographics online, which you can give to people to help them get a better understanding of the condition. You can also post messages on social media to help your friends and followers know more about sepsis.
Fundraise
Another way to observe Sepsis Awareness Month is to fundraise. Raising money and donating it to a sepsis charity can make a massive difference. There are lots of different ways you can fundraise. For example, you can make craft items and donate the profit (or a percentage of the profit) to sepsis awareness. Other options include getting your business to participate in a dress-down day or having a bake sale. After all, cake never fails! You can gain momentum for your event by posting about it online and setting up an online donations page so that you do not have to collect all money in cash.
Host an event
How about hosting your own event for sepsis awareness in September? If you’re stuck for some ideas, don’t panic; we’ve got you covered here too! You could do a 5k walk or run, helping to raise awareness and funds for sepsis. All attendees can wear a T-shirt with Sepsis Awareness on the front. If you’re looking to host something on more of a smaller scale, rather than a community event, why not get your friends and family around for an evening of appetizers and wine tasting? You can share your knowledge about sepsis and ask attendees to donate. There are so many different events that you can arrange in order to get people involved; from a cook-off to a yoga class at your local part. It is all about thinking of something that is fun and gets people involved, and then making sure you weave awareness and/or donations into the mix so that the event contributes to sepsis awareness.
