Awareness Day Every year on September 9, communities throughout
the world observe International FASD Awareness Day. Events are
often held at 9:09 am, the 9th minute of the 9th hour of the 9th
day of the 9th month of the year. This date and time is used to
remind women not to drink during the nine months of pregnancy.
The first FAS Awareness Day was held on 9/9/99. Since then, the
Federal government and many State and local governments have
officially recognized FASD Awareness Day. Individuals,
organizations, and communities have been active every year
organizing events to promote FASD awareness and increase
compassion for individuals with an FASD. If you would like more
