Approved Proclamations for 2025 SUDC Awareness Month
SUDC Awareness is Spreading Across America!
Every year, the SUDC Foundation spearheads a nationwide campaign to encourage every U.S.
state to declare March as SUDC Awareness Month. These proclamations call attention to the
medical mystery that claims the lives of approximately 500 children in the United States
annually while also offering hope and solidarity to bereaved families. The SUDC Foundation
advocates securing proclamations in all 50 states, with 44 states participating in 2024.
As this effort continues to gain momentum, it empowers SUDC families by providing them with the
opportunity to collaborate with state and local municipalities to honor their children and all
children lost too soon while raising awareness within their communities. The collective impact
of these proclamations has amplified the conversation around SUDC, offering hope and
compassion to affected families, and highlighting the critical need for research to create a future
free from SUDC.
We need your support!
If you’re interested in securing a proclamation for your city, please reach out to your local or regional government representative to learn how to submit a proclamation request.

Where it all began…the legacy of SUDC Awareness Month
After their 15-month-old son Drew passed away on March 12, 2014, Devron and Georgia
Boswell’s friend, Christina Grantham, approached the SUDC Foundation in 2015 with a
meaningful proposal: to establish March as SUDC Awareness Month in Louisiana in Drew’s
honor.
Through Christina’s advocacy, then-Governor Bobby Jindal honored Drew’s memory by flying
the flag on his birthday and officially proclaiming March 2015 as SUDC Awareness Month in
Louisiana—the first recognition of its kind.
This milestone inspired Christina and the SUDC Foundation to expand their efforts, striving to
improve awareness of this little-known tragedy nationwide. Together, they began asking every
state to proclaim March as SUDC Awareness Month to educate the public and to raise funds for
crucial research. #Tunes4Drew
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Boswell family for their inspiration and to Christina Grantham for her relentless dedication in making this initiative a reality.
