2026 SUDC Awareness Month | Proclamations & Letters of Support
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 and letters of support 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.
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 and letters of support have 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!

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.
