The 2024 IC Awareness Month Proclamations have been very successful, with proclamations secured in several states and cities, including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia, Ohio, Maryland, Connecticut, Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, and Colorado, as well as the cities of Orlando, Florida, and Denver, Colorado. This recognition highlights the importance of raising awareness for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and the efforts of the IC/BPS community.

These proclamations help bring attention to the challenges faced by those affected by IC/BPS and emphasize the need for continued support and research. The ICA, with the support of the IC/BPS community, worked hard to achieve this recognition and our efforts are making a difference in increasing visibility and understanding of the condition. This success sets a strong foundation for future advocacy and awareness initiatives.
