Celiac Disease Awareness Month
This May, join us for Celiac Disease Awareness Month as we come together to uplift, educate, and take action! There are so many ways to be part of the movement—whether you’re sharing your journey, participating in our programs, attending or hosting events, or supporting our partners. Together, our collective efforts are driving progress toward a better future for everyone affected by celiac disease.
Raise It. Give It. Get It.
This May, we’re teaming up with King Arthur Baking Company to make giving extra sweet! Fundraise or donate at least $50 between May 1-31 and you’ll receive a gluten-free product package from Proud Sponsor King Arthur Baking Company. Every contribution brings us closer to a cure—and closer to some gluten-free treats for you!
Show Your Support with a Celiac Strong Bracelet
“Celiac Strong” is a phrase that reflects the resilience, determination, and sense of community shared by individuals and families living with celiac disease. This bracelet serves as a reminder that no one in the celiac community is alone – we are stronger together. For every bracelet sold, Little Words Project donates $5 to support the Celiac Disease Foundation.
Celiac Strong Day 2026
Join us this May in doing your very own Celiac Strong Day, a May Celiac Disease Awareness Month initiative empowering students to raise awareness about celiac disease in their schools and communities! While you can plan your Celiac Strong activities for any day during the month of May, most of us will be celebrating on May 15, 2026, the school day closest to International Celiac Disease Awareness Day (May 16).
Celiac Disease Awareness Games
Celebrate Celiac Disease Awareness Month this May at the ballpark! Join the celiac disease community at select Major League Baseball games across the country to raise awareness while enjoying America’s favorite pastime. With each ticket purchased through the links below, a portion of proceeds will support the Celiac Disease Foundation’s mission. Grab your friends and family, and make every inning count for a great cause!
Support the Celiac Strong T-Shirt Fundraiser
Be Celiac Strong all year long. When you purchase a t-shirt, you’re not only showing your support in style, your purchase helps the Celiac Disease Foundation advance research, advocacy, and education for the celiac disease community. Note: Orders placed in May in honor of Celiac Disease Awareness Month will be fulfilled after the campaign concludes, with shipping to follow. Your shirt will arrive after May, but the impact you make lasts far beyond it.
Celiac Disease Awareness Month Proclamations
Each year, elected officials across the country make formal proclamations recognizing May as Celiac Disease Awareness Month. They do this in response to requests from people like you! Proclamations inform others about the seriousness of celiac disease and show that our elected officials care. Take a look at the work of our advocates—a proclamation request was submitted in all 50 states again this year!

Become a Policy Advocate
Thanks to the ongoing support from our advocacy community and Congressional champions, celiac disease is now receiving attention in Congress, including federally funded celiac disease research since 2021. With the recent, ongoing federal cuts to medical research programs, it’s more important than ever to make your voice heard! Become a Celiac Disease Foundation Policy Advocate this May and drive policy change to improve the health of those living with celiac disease.
