MG Community members from many countries collaborate and creatively plan and conduct awareness activities – everything from media relations, international events and gatherings, legislative advocacy, social media sharing, fundraisers, and more – that will increase awareness of the effects of the disease while outlining new treatments and research progress.

MG Awareness Month is a time to highlight how MG profoundly impacts the lives of those diagnosed. MGFA educates and informs, advocates and empowers, and funds critical research that could lead to improved diagnosis times, and an overall improved quality of life through better treatments and disease management strategies. June marks an opportunity for all MG-focused organizations and support groups the world over to collaborate and work together to achieve higher levels of awareness and action.

Approximately 90,000 to 100,000 individuals are diagnosed and living with MG in the United States alone. MG patients suffer with debilitating physical symptoms such as extreme fatigue and muscle weakness that impact a person's ability to see, swallow, smile, walk or breathe. MGFA focuses on funding promising research discoveries for better treatments while providing impactful programs, guidance, and education to support members of the MG Community.

MGFA provides toolkits, ideas, and methods of taking action and driving awareness. The organization also raises funds through its DARE to CARE program that supports MG research grant funding and educational materials and events.
