Every 18 Minutes Challenge
Take action during Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month.
This September, LaLa Speaks Foundation is inviting individuals, families, workplaces, churches, schools, and community groups to help raise awareness from wherever they are.
HOW IT WORKS
01
Choose Your Action
Start with one meaningful action. Create a fundraiser, host a walk, plan an awareness table, organize a workplace giving day, or share brain aneurysm education in your community.
02
Invite Others to Join
Build a team with family, friends, coworkers, church members, students, neighbors, or community partners. Every person who joins helps carry the message further.
03
Raise Awareness From Anywhere
Whether you are in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, or beyond, your action helps bring brain aneurysm awareness into everyday spaces before crisis happens.
Individuals & Families
Honor a loved one, support a survivor, or help your family share lifesaving awareness.
Churches & Faith Communities
Share resources, host an awareness table, or invite members to support the mission.

Use your voice, story, or support network to help others feel seen, informed, and connected.
Schools & Youth Groups
Create a youth-friendly awareness activity that helps students learn, share, and lead.
Workplaces & Businesses
Host a giving day, wear red, sponsor awareness materials, or invite your team to take action.

Start a Fundraiser

WAYS TO TAKE ACTION
Build a Team
Invite friends, coworkers, loved ones, or community members to join you in raising awareness and support.
Workplace Giving Day
Invite your team to wear red, give, share resources, or support the mission together.
Host a Walk
Plan a small walk in your neighborhood, at your workplace, with your church, or with your community group.
Share the Message
Post the Every 18 Minutes message, share awareness facts, and invite others to learn why brain aneurysm awareness matters.
CREATE YOUR OWN AWARENESS MOMENT
Your challenge can be simple, personal, creative, or community-centered. What matters most is that people learn, share, and take action.
You can honor a loved one, support a survivor, gather your family, activate your workplace, engage your church, or bring awareness into a trusted community space.
Family & Loved Ones: A family tribute fundraiser or survivor support gathering.
Community Hubs: A red or burgundy awareness table setup or neighborhood walk.
Workplace & Business: Wear-red days or small business giveback programs.
Faith & Schools: Church announcements or school awareness activities.
Every action matters. Every share matters. Every conversation can help save a life.
