Join us on the iconic National Mall in Washington, D.C. as we plant thousands of purple flags to represent the millions of people living with disabling headache disorders in the U.S. This powerful visual display will serve as a national call to action-and we can't do it without you.
Whether you've been personally impacted by migraine, cluster headache, orofacial pain or another headache disorder-or you simply care about making a difference-this is your chance to be part of something meaningful, moving, and historic.
Flag installation will take place in several shifts on Saturday, May 31st. You'll be able to select a specific time slot when you sign up. We understand not every volunteer will be able to volunteer the full shift.

Mission Statement
To improve the quality of life of those living with headache disorders through patient and provider education, communications campaigns, advocacy and support of early-stage research.
Description
Founded in 2023, The Headache Alliance (THA) emerged from the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy (AHDA) to address the widespread impact of migraine and other headache disorders, the third leading cause of global disability. Recognizing gaps in education, advocacy, and research, THA was created as a powerful solution.
Together, THA and AHDA work tirelessly to raise awareness, influence policy, and provide essential support to millions of Americans.
We envision a world where those affected by headache disorders are free from stigma and receive the understanding and care they deserve.CAUSE AREAS
