Imagine the power of a single document, a proclamation, that can shine a spotlight on IC/BPS. It’s not just a piece of paper, but recognition from government officials at various levels, acknowledging the contributions and achievements of the IC/BPS community. Request your proclamation today for IC Awareness Month in September of 2026!

Raising awareness and advocating for much-needed research funding is always important, but especially so now. Learn more about how you can participate in IC/BPS advocacy.

  • The ICA maintains an online shop with various items, including our signature restroom access card, wristbands, pens, and more.
  • Don’t forget ICA shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, and mugs available on Bonfire!

Be sure to connect with the ICA on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to access our “30 Days of Facts” about IC, which will be shared daily throughout September. Share these with your networks!
