Each year the SUDC Foundation, with the help of volunteer Christina Grantham, spearheads a nationwide effort within the 50 U.S. States requesting that each state proclaim March as SUDC Awareness Month. These proclamations call attention to the often unheard of and unspoken tragedy of SUDC and we are grateful for states that recognize SUDC. In 2018 forty-three U.S. States proclaimed March as SUDC Awareness month. 

This nationwide effort began in 2016 and was inspired by Drew Joseph Boswell and the Boswell family. The first proclamation they obtained occurred in 2015, by Governor Bobby Jindal, in the State of Louisiana. It was the first of its kind in the southern United States recognizing sudden unexplained death in childhood. Drew passed away on March 12, 2014, at the age of 15 months. His parents, Devon and Georgia Boswell created the Drew's Tunes Foundation in his memory and to celebrate his life. The SUDC Foundation thanks volunteer Christina Grantham for her help in this amazing 2018 effort!
