awareness week
Cause promotion period
An awareness week is a designated seven-day period meant to draw public attention to a cause, condition, or issue—often health-related: Eating Disorders Awareness Week, National Suicide Prevention Awareness Week.
Organizations use them to coordinate education campaigns, fundraising, and media coverage.
The proliferation of awareness weeks means most calendar weeks now host several competing causes.
