May Celiac Awareness Month

Celebrate Celiac 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!

Fundraise With Team Gluten-Free

Team Gluten-Free is a community fundraising program that provides a simple way for athletes and non-athletes alike to raise awareness and funds for the Celiac Disease Foundation’s programs for research, education, and advocacy. Whether you’re running a race, hosting a bake sale, or celebrating a special occasion, you can turn your passions into purpose. Start your fundraiser today!

Celiac Strong Day

Join us this May in doing your very own Celiac Strong Day, a May Celiac 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 Awareness Day (May 16).

Join the iCureCeliac Patient Registry

iCureCeliac is the world's largest global patient registry for celiac disease. Share your or your child’s experience living with celiac disease to advance the development of better treatments, and one day, a cure for celiac disease.

Celiac Disease Awareness Games

Celebrate Celiac 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!

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.

Celiac 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!
